*PhD position in Visual Analytics for Paintings at the University of 
Amsterdam*

The aim of this project is to develop a visual analytics framework in 
which art historians and automatic systems in a synergetic manner create 
the stylistic history of large collections of paintings in terms of 
visual characteristics, place, and time. The technical challenge is to 
learn relevant features from large collections of digital paintings, 
interactively learn the similarity among the paintings and from there 
arrive at a means of automatic visual story telling.  For more

    assure impact;
