ICDAR 2026 Competition on Writer and Pen Identification from Hand-Drawn Circles
We’re hosting CircleID, the ICDAR 2026 competition on learning subtle details in hand-drawn circles from scanned images. The challenge features two tracks: Writer Identification and Pen Classification. CircleID includes an out-of-distribution twist for Writer Identification: The test set contains circles from writers not seen during training, so methods must learn to recognize unknown writers. To […]We’re hosting CircleID, the ICDAR 2026 competition on learning subtle details in hand-drawn circles from scanned images.

Schmidt Science Foundation awards two Computational Humanities Projects
Even experts sometimes reach their limits when deciphering historical documents, for example when ancient wooden tablets are charred, scrolls have weathered, or notes are written in a rare form of shorthand. In two new projects, Vincent Christlein and his team aim to develop AI-supported technologies that make such sources easier to access. The Schmidt Sciences […]
