1/ 🧵A library I have been using on a few projects is PyAlex. This is a Python library that allows you to easily automate calls to the OpenAlex api (OpenAlex). But what is OpenAlex?

Mark your calendars for the SWWRGNA reading group! We're looking forward to new work by Liz Gardner, Daniel Giblin, @nellstra, Zane Whitney, Jr., Dr Matthew Hefler, Shlomi Chetrit, Christopher Bishop & James J Kimble. Readings circulated 2 weeks in advance. All are welcome!

Here's the Humanistica model for medieval HTR! Uploaded to Hugging Face . Teklia any interest in using these models? Any interest anyone else in building out a crowd-sourcing transcription project where we allow people to correct the outputs? Would Arkindex be the right tool?

Building a network analysis app with Streamlit is so easy now with st-link-analysis. In this video, I walk you through the main aspects of the new component and show you how to build an app quickly! Why is st-link-analysis such a big deal? It let's you easily build a beautiful

👀Claude handles an insane request: “Remove the squid” “The document appears to be the full text of the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. It doesn't contain any mention of squid that I can see.” “Figure out a way to remove the 🦑​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

This is one of the most important GitHub AI resources you should star today. Like and retweet as far as possible. Awesome AI for LAM It's regularly maintained and updated. While it is designed for Librarians, Archivists, and Museums, it has far wider applicability. If you work

Today we release our first foundation model. OCRonos-Vintage is a 124 million parameters model pretrained end-to-end by pleias on 18 billion tokens of cultural heritage archives, with nearly SOTA results for OCR correction in English huggingface.co/PleIAs/OCRonos…

What's a real-world use case of a vector database in the humanities? Here's one. I'm now able to extract all the sentences for each letter in my Medieval Letters dataset and pass each sentence to my Weaviate • vector database vector database of the Latin Vulgate. With a fairly low threshold,

This is such a great contribution to the OCR landscape! I've been testing it on typed archival material in English and it is doing very well. You can now test it out with this Hugging Face app! App: huggingface.co/spaces/wjbmatt… #DigitalHumanities #MachineLearning

Working on something fun. Imagine being able to use a VLM to annotate any IIIF image by selecting a region and annotating/transcribing it. This can also be used to map to line-level models (like Kraken) for HTR. Imagine no more! =) would anyone find this useful?
