Transkribus assignment

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 19:28:05 +0300

Dear students,

I have updated our Notion corner with your homework. You are asked to apply Layout and Character Recognition to your assigned image, and the one after that (2 images in total). All steps to completion are in the notebook. Please set your page status to Done once you're happy with the transcription.

We will use your transcriptions as the Ground Truth to train a Handwritten Text Recognition model specialized to the hand of Plut. 11.10. I will update the notebook with a short report on the training process (data split, training parameters) and the training results once we have our Ground Truth ready, so that I can train our model.

The submission deadline is Sunday, September 27, 23:55 (Athens)! A transcription is considered submitted once its status is set to Done. Contact me at panagiotis.leontaridis[at]univr.it for any questions or doubts.

Enjoy the rest of your stay at Patmos!
