The talks of our "Understanding image-based evidence" workshop held on 17th November 2009 in Oxford are now up in our documents sections. Some photos of the event can be found in our Gallery. And a report written by an attendee (Thank you Alejandro!) can be viewed on this page of his. Thank you to all who participated, speakers, respondents and attendees! The feedback on the day was great. The multi-disciplinary range of the audience and of the speakers greatly contributed to making the day a successful, informative, fruitful and enjoyable research event. We look forward to our next workshop! |

A paper summarising my progress so far is now forthcoming in Literary and Linguistics Computing. In this paper, I compare papyrologists to detectives, and set out to find some of the mechanisms that trigger the jumps between the reading levels, where the reading levels are those identified by Melissa in her work on the document interpretation process (expanding on our Ontology subject). The paper also gives an overview of how our image processing algorithms are designed to imitate real-world tasks (expanding on our Image processing subject). The title of the paper is: "Papyrological Investigations: Transferring Perception and Interpretation into the Digital World"; it can be downloaded in our Reports and publications section. |

A 2-days workshop entitled "Object, Artefact, Script" was held in Edinburgh at the eSI, organised by Gabriel Bodard and Stuart Dunn. More information on the actual workshop (including abstracts and presentations of all invited speakers) can be found here (the paper I presented can also be retrieved from our Conference papers section). Tweets about the event are archived here (thanks to Gabby), and reports written by attendees can be found here (thanks to Hugh) and there (thanks to Alejandro). |

Understanding Image-based Evidence
2nd e-Science and Ancient Documents workshop
Investigators: Professor Alan Bowman, Professor Sir Michael Brady, Dr. Melissa Terras
Research Assistant: Dr. Ségolène Tarte
Doctoral Student: Henriette Roued
Following our first workshop, which presented how we are aiding the process of reading ancient and damaged texts through: exploring image processing techniques; mark-up and web-service technology for building and accessing knowledge bases; use of e-infrastructure; and methodologies to identify mechanisms in deploying implicit knowledge and build an ontology, we would like to invite you to our 2nd workshop on 17th November 2009, in Oxford.
We will concentrate on how image-based evidence is understood in the context of the building of an Interpretation Support System (ISS) for ancient or damaged documents. To that end, we will focus on three of our current themes of research:
Evaluating evidence, or what are the tools and strategies that can help to evaluate the goodness of a given piece of evidence in a chain of reasoning ?
Quality of digitization and capture of evidence, or how to digitize text-bearing artifacts so that the pieces of evidence relevant to further interpretation are optimally captured and processed?
Restoration, palaeographical knowledge bases and classification of palaeographical data such as letter-forms, or how to organize and access palaeographical knowledge in order to use it as evidence in an emerging interpretation? [...]
