A public lecture - Artificial Intelligence and Modern Methods and Technologies for the Digital Processing of Georgian Manuscripts
25th September, the University of Georgia hosted a public lecture on “Artificial Intelligence and Modern Methods and Technologies for the Digital Processing of Georgian Manuscripts.”
The lecture was delivered by Mariam Kamarаuli, Head of the Centre for Georgian Studies at Goethe University Frankfurt.
The event was attended by members of the Georgian Studies team and the wider public. The lecture explored how advances in digital technologies and artificial intelligence are creating new opportunities for the study, deciphering, and analysis of Georgia’s manuscript heritage.
Mariam Kamarаuli discussed modern technologies for the study and deciphering of palimpsest manuscripts, as well as multispectral analysis methods and eScriptorium, an innovative, non-invasive tool for the automated transcription of manuscripts. The use of modern technologies is particularly important for studying manuscripts whose original texts are no longer visible to the naked eye, opening up new possibilities for technology-assisted research.
The meeting once again highlighted how the intersection of artificial intelligence and the humanities can create new opportunities for the study and preservation of Georgia’s cultural heritage.
