Now, researchers at University of Notre Dame are developing an artificial neural network to read complex ancient handwriting based on human perception to improve capabilities of deep learning transcription...

Yet the phrase, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” is still indecipherable.

Interesting article, Sunken Civ. The true usefulness of this technique remains to be seen.

What is undeniable is that the Ancient Abby Library of St. Gallen is stunning. The architecture and the number of ancient documents they have preserved for over a thousand years is simply breathtaking. I last visited this world famous site several years ago. The Irish influence in medieval Switzerland is a strange historical fact.
Thanks for posting this.

There are thousands of old American newspapers and magazines (including military base newsletters, church bulletins, school newspapers, etc.) that are moldering away in libraries and archives or in people's attics. At best, they have been microfilmed - but they are still inaccessible to thousands of Internet users who would give their eye-teeth to be allowed to read and transcribe (digitize) them, thus making that knowledge even more accessible.

Sigh!

Regards,

I once supported a DOD project that began in 1986. By 1994, there were more than a million pages of documents, all highly technical and classified. The customer decided that the history of the project, which invented and developed a lot of cutting edge technology, had to be preserved.

A group of 12 senior people were assigned the task of scanning all those documents, making sense of the primitive OCR translations of the time. Four teams of three people, 8 hour shifts, 2 shifts per day, 7 days per week.. It took them nearly six months.

With AI assistance and todays document scanning technology, they would have been finished in one month.

Of course, in 1995 the Russian military put so much material on the open market, in a desperate bid for foreign capital, that we simply bought what we wanted on the open market and dropped half the project.

I always wondered if there was some way to scan/translate all those cuneiform tablets that are gathering dust in the museums. Perhaps this method could be applied there.

There is such room for this meme to be explored in a fiction novel. Because of prior commitments and priorities, I simply don’t have the time left to me to do it.

I hope someone will see the potential and run with it.

Translation is where AI has some value, if truthful - carefully quadruple-checked.
