Monk is a 'living' system for historical handwriting recognition. It learns 'OCR', 24/7, from the word labels given by users to 'Google' in manuscript images.

A lot of media attention for this:

@sarahmejias3 It is even worse because you forgot the red-tape chores invented for fun by the administrative level. But companies are not heaven. There, I observed tears when a team of smart mathematicians was suddenly forced to do silly menial work.

@PerezJorgeA_ Agreed! "Yes, but" is killing.

@Rainmaker1973 Fantastic, visually & now! But at the Smithsonian, in 2010, we got a demonstration by conservators, who were repairing the effects of earlier conservation attempts. What compounds are used? Will there be negative aftereffects of current work?

The timelapse captures the monumental task of decanting the Library collections as part of the Old Library Redevelopment Project − 3.5 km of books have been removed. With a target of just over 10.5 km, we have a 7 km to go. #Conservation #Preservation @tcddublin @BookOfKellsTCD

@nakagincapsule @SaveNakaginCT I wish you good luck with saving some of the physical capsules and the construction of the digital 3D copy of the building.

The Nakagin capsule tower in Tokyo is going to be demolished (https://t.co/Lfka7Vn2lB) An amazing example of futuristic architecture that looks 'Martian' even today, aftere 50 years. From the same era: https://t.co/TSHf2D7ZmO

@NobelPrize Exactly what robots do _not_ have, as yet: A dense sensor network for gauging structural integrity and their current well being.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The seminal discoveries by this year’s #NobelPrize laureates in physiology or medicine have explained how heat, cold and touch can initiate signals in our nervous system. The identified ion channels are important for many physiological processes and disease conditions.

Notification: the Monk system is down because of a Lustre file-system check. Fortunately it does not happen often: This is the first time since years. But the disk space is massive so it may take some time. The computing center keeps me informed.

Mladen Popović, Maruf A. Dhali , & Lambert Schomaker- Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls? Digital handwriting analysis and artificial intelligence offer new clues https://t.co/gfwLGioH7y

[Lambert Schomaker @MonkTrainer]

Artificial intelligence based writer identification generates new evidence for the unknown scribes of the Dead Sea Scrolls exemplified by the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaa)

Just watched Sonja Wyss' Farewell Paradise: https://t.co/HSPjoeAGGx and was struck with the phonetic similarities between Dutch and Schwyzerdütsch. The experts have all kinds of lofty opinions on this but there is no inventory yet. We can start: https://t.co/NZLSGm5oB9
