Events, News

The DATeCH International Conference is fast approaching on 1-2 June 2017 in Göttingen. The conference is a forum for innovative work on the creation, use and transformation of digitised historical documents.

If you are planning on attending the conference, you might be interested in our pre-conference workshop on 31 May.

We will be giving participants an overview of READ project technology and showing them how to apply handwritten text recognition to their own documents. The workshop will be led by Tobias Hodel (State Archives Zurich), with support from researchers at the Computer Vision Lab, Technical University Vienna and the Computational Intelligence Technology Lab, University of Rostock.

At the DATeCH website you can consult the agenda of the workshop and find more information on registration. If you need any further details, please email Tobias Hodel.
