RESCAPÉ
The RESCAPÉ project focuses on the manuscript, BNU L.ll.14, from the Library of Turin, which was damaged and partly destroyed by fire in 1904. The project employs handwritten text recognition technology for the transcription of part of the manuscript in order to train and fine-tune a transcription model to transcribe the manuscript automatically.
December 2022 – May 2023: Postdoctoral researcher at the École nationale des chartes working under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste Camps and Marco Maulu on the RESCAPÉ project, which involves using eScriptorium to segment and transcribe a sample selection from the four volumes of the BNU L.ll.14 manuscript.
PRAIRIE
The PRAIRIE project uses Artificial Intelligence, specifically, the more advanced use of computer vision for artificial document restoration. The objective of the project is to create ‘fake manuscripts’ in order to restore the sections and pages that have been burnt, damaged, and in any way destroyed in the original manuscript.
June 2023 – February 2024: Postdoctoral researcher at the École nationale des chartes working under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste Camps on the PRAIRIE project, which involves applying artificial intelligence to restore the fire-damaged portions of the four volumes of the BNU L.ll.14 manuscript.
Transatlantic Intellectual Networks
The Transatlantic Intellectual Networks Project seeks to provide a fully searchable TEI-encoded selection of David Bailie Warden’s transcribed correspondence as well as a number of static and interactive visualizations of Warden’s networks.
October 2022 – January 2023: Postdoctoral research assistant for the Animating Text Newcastle University (ATNU) Transatlantic Intellectual Networks project which involved transcribing, editing, and encoding the literary and scientific correspondence of David Bailie Warden in TEI-XML.
