Digitizing heritage: Working with difficult layouts - Autumn edition

In this workshop, we will use the AI tool Transkribus to digitize complex page layouts such as newspapers, tables, and forms from printed and handwritten sources. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to apply layout models to different types of sources and use the Transkribus tool to automatically apply correct labels to specific elements, such as dates, names, and places.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to apply the AI tool Transkribus to complex page layouts, such as newspapers, tables, and forms. 

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • apply layout models to various types of sources;
  • use the Transkribus tool to automatically apply correct labels to specific elements, such as dates, names, and places.

For whom?

This workshop is intended for students who already have some experience with the Transkribus tool or have attended the introductory Transkribus workshop. 

However, if you are particularly interested in learning these specific applications, you are welcome to participate even without prior experience with the tool. In that case, we recommend that you create a Transkribus account in advance so you can start working with the sources right away during the workshop.
