Making great progress on ink detection for @scrollprize. In these images, the ink detection model is trained on letters found in other parts of the scroll, and then tested on another region (the same region discussed in @CJHandmer 's blog post). Letters are emerging! a week ago…
@LukeFarritor @scrollprize @CJHandmer I read that entire site in one gulp. By far one of the most interesting and fascinating challenges I have ever seen. Thank you for helping us preserve and learn from history ❤️.
