About the project
MiDRASH is an international project that aims to reconstruct Medieval Jewish book culture by making all Medieval Hebrew Texts accessible and searchable.
The project seeks to provide annotated automatic transcriptions of 30,000 medieval manuscripts in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Judeo-Arabic, as well as cutting-edge tools for manuscript research.
These tools will be based on digital paleography, NLP and deep learning technologies for the enrichment, analysis and re-use detection of the Jewish Medieval texts.
The results of this project — data as well as algorithms — will be made available to the public.
