AI framework PAGE revolutionizes comics research and accessibility

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed the PAGE framework, an artificial intelligence system designed to analyze comics at scale. This framework can parse comic pages into panels, text, and bibliographic data, and uses vision-language models to annotate content based on a written codebook. The system has been demonstrated on a large collection of American comic books and Japanese manga, enabling studies on the portrayal of political power, the influence of individual artists, and dialogue patterns across different comic traditions. Beyond research, PAGE can enhance archive searchability, improve accessibility for visually impaired readers, and aid in the preservation and crediting of artists. AI

IMPACT Enables large-scale analysis of visual media, potentially transforming humanities research and digital archiving.
