Professor Daniel Stökl Ben Ezra’s team at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE, PSL), deals with the automatic analysis of layout, reading order and transcription of the books and manuscripts. At its heart stands eScriptorium, our open-source virtual research environment for automatic manuscript analysis that provides ergonomic access to the AI core kraken created by Benjamin Kiessling and used by many other teams and institutions on many other scripts and languages. In addition, Stökl’s team is responsible for three case studies in computational philology (textual fluidity, prehistory of texts and traditions, tracing the reader). Everything will be performed in close interaction with the other teams.
