The project involves the development of algorithms for the automatic processing and analysis of scanned Hebrew manuscripts, including Handwritten Text Recognition, Paleographical Analysis, Morphological Analysis, Parallels Identification, and Fuzzy Matching, among other tasks. By the end of the project, it will provide a digital analysis of all extant Hebrew manuscripts, identifying their time, place, genre, and content, and offer an interface for full-text search of the manuscripts, as well as map connections between them. In this talk, Dr. Avi Shmidman will describe some of the achievements of the research project thus far. Please note that although the talk will be in English, the manuscripts and texts discussed within the talk will mostly be in the Hebrew language.
