Teams from the Bentham Project, University College London, and the DEEDS (Documents of Early England Data Set) project, University of Toronto, have collaborated to develop a publicly-available and free-to-use model, available through the Transkribus platform, for the accurate machine-reading of medieval Latin texts.
In this Zoom webinar, scholars from the Bentham Project and DEEDS will give accounts of the DEEDS and the Transkribus platform and demonstrate the results achieved with the new model. The model will be officially launched and made available for general use via Transkribus.
