If for some reason you need the fee to be waived please contact the organizer)Who should attend: Open to everyone, however students, researchers, library and archives professionals interested in digital humanities methods, library technologies, and handwritten text recognition using machine learning and artificial intelligence.The Transkribus platform enables users to transcribe handwritten documents with the support of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Excellent results can be achieved for any kind of writing, be it from the middle-ages or from the 20th century, be it English, German, Hebrew or Arabic. Users are able to train their own handwriting recognition models. Nearly 50,000 users are registered in the platform, more than 8000 Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) models were trained in the last 2 years. Transkribus is run by the European Cooperative Society READ-COOP SCE.The University of Denver, as part of the first cohort in the Collections as Data: Part to Whole Mellon funded initiative in collaboration with the READ-COOP is hosting a workshop that will introduce the main features of the Transkribus platform. Attendees will learn how to upload their documents to the platform, how to generate training data, how to train the HTR engine and how to apply their own models or existing ones. They will get some background knowledge on the technology used and what should be obeyed in order to get the best results. In the advanced part of the workshop they will also learn how to transform existing transcriptions from former projects into a format which can be used to train the Transkribus engine. Finally attendees will also get an insight into the web-applications for searching and displaying Transkribus documents on the web.About READ-COOP: https://readcoop.eu/about/About the University of Denver Libraries: https://library.du.edu/About the University of Denver Collections as Data project using Transkribus: https://collectionsasdata.github.io/part2whole/spark/Transkribus Users Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/614090738935143Transkribus Twitter: https://twitter.com/Transkribus
