Machine assisted translation of cuneiform texts The CDLI is delighted to announce that the international research collaboration Machine Translation and Automated Analysis of Cuneiform Languages (MTAAC) has been funded through the Trans-Atlantic Platform Digging into Data Challenge by the American National Endowment for the Humanities, the German Research Foundation, and the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. Methods of computer assisted annotation of cuneiform texts are currently rule and dictionary based. To be reliable, these methods are dependent on human intervention. In the case of large corpora with non-homogeneous texts, the time required to verify each line appears to make this approach impracticable. The MTAAC project’s broad goal is to address the gap in the NLP of cuneiform languages. As a representative and robust test set of cuneiform documents to be used in the initial phase of MTAAC, we have chosen the corpus of Ur III legal and administrative texts.

Start Here (Before It's News) An Exclusive You Have To See: The Last Frontier of Free Press Is Here! No More Censorship, Unlike YouTube and Others! One of the oldest civilizations on Earth, the 30,000 Sumerian tablets were found buried in the desert near Baghdad from an underground structure estimated to be over 6000 years old, by two Muslims digging a well around the same time that Israel became a nation again. Bored at work? Here’s a Google-style digital map of the Roman Empire to play with Zac Goldsmith, the people’s dog-whistle-prone freedom fighter against the scourge of Heathrow expansion, has lost his pointless and taxpayers’-money-wasting campaign to be re-elected as an independent MP for Richmond Park & North Kingston in an unnecessary by-election that he himself forced. Sad! But in the midst of all this Heathrow grandstanding, preceded as it was by the advert-scattered battle between Heathrow and Gatwick, another London “hub” has been quietly expanding. In July, Philip Hammond, Chris Grayling and Sajid Javid clubbed together in their new roles as chancellor, transport secretary, and communities and local government secretary respectively, and announced a £344m expansion programme for London City Airport. The plan included an extended terminal, new taxi lanes, and more parking spaces for places. In the immortal words of Liz Truss, that is a disgrace. The case for the prosecution Except, not. It’s not even like the airport is wildly popular, either. Land of opportunity
ArcheoNum | L'archéologie dans les humanités numériques Rome Reborn Teaching with ORBIS: Maps, Environments, and Interpretations in Ancient Rome - American Historical Association After a few minutes of tinkering with ORBIS: The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World, one of my students exclaimed, “It’s like Google Maps, but for Rome!” She wasn’t the first to make that connection. Four years ago Curt Hopkins noticed the similarity in an article for Ars Technica. Figure 1: Ravenna to Aventicum with the details in the lower left corner A digital humanities grant from Stanford University funded the creation of ORBIS in 2012. ORBIS is one of the many digital projects on the classical Roman world, including the Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations, the Perseus Digital Library, and Epigraph Database Roma. Figure 2: Ravenna to Athens with the details in the lower left corner As a teaching tool, ORBIS offers an easy entry into digital history projects. I ask the students to explain the reasons for the difference, guiding them to an understanding of the difference between travel by foot and by sail.
"Rome in 3D" reboot - detailed reconstruction of the City center - History in 3D After a relatively long pause, we’re returning to the “Rome in 3D” project. During the last months, as we all know, not everything went as we initially planned. But we did not abandon the project despite the difficulties. Today, I want to share a first intro to the Rome project in a new form. To a certain degree, it is the reboot of the project, since many objects were replaced and remodelled completely, and the whole project has been moved to the new game engine. Today, you can watch the first trailer, which can give you the common imagination about the amount of work done during the last year: Also, let’s take a look at some more detailed images showing panoramas and several important locations of the Eternal City, as it probably look like in 320 AD. Then, let’s move down to the “Colosseum” and have a look from the from a height of human growth. After flying a little further, we find ourselves on the Quirinal Hill. Thank you for travelling with us in Rome today!
