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Even experts sometimes reach their limits when deciphering historical documents, for example when ancient wooden tablets are charred, scrolls have weathered, or notes are written in a rare form of shorthand.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 […]

ERC Funds ‘UnLost’: Vincent Christlein Among Synergy Grant Winners
The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD also destroyed a unique collection of papyrus scrolls. They were rediscovered in the 18th century, but the carbonized and stuck-together writings remain largely illegible to this day. An international project involving the Pattern Recognition Lab (Vincent Christlein) now aims to change that: by combining and further developing state-of-the-art […]
