How is #AI reshaping the way we study the human past? A news article in the Communications of the ACM by Karen Emslie highlights how archaeologists are using #machinelearning and #computervision to uncover the stories of human culture—from detecting submerged WWII aircraft to revealing hidden words in carbonized scrolls.
AI is helping researchers identify ancient sites, analyze large and diverse datasets, and even virtually "unwrap" fragile artifacts. Though challenges like data incompleteness remain, the potential for discovery is growing fast. Read more: https://cacm.acm.org/news/researchers-tap-ai-to-dig-into-the-past/

New podcast episode!
We talked to one of the leads on the Vesuvius Challenge, which is driving the efforts to read the carbonized scrolls from Herculaneum. This is a fascinating project and producing really exciting results, and we very much enjoyed our in-depth discussion with Stephen Parsons about his work and the potential for future discoveries.

Who won the #VesuviusChallenge2023? - Youssef Nader, Luke Farritor, and Julian Schilliger (congrats!).
What #VesuviusChallenge, you ask? 🤔
It's all about implementing #MachineLearning in #archaeology to help making ancient carbonised papyrus scrolls readable again:

I posted a while back about how they'd decoded words in some ancient carbonised papyri from Pompeii. Back then, they were very exicted because they'd deciphered one word: purple.
Now, they've deciphered 2,000 words. Two thousand!

Erstmals konnten große Teile einer knapp 2000 Jahre alten Papyrusrolle mit Hilfe von KI entziffert werden. Sie enthält einen bisher unbekannten Text der epikureischen Philosophie.#Papyrus #KI #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Vesuv #Papierrolle #VesuviusChallenge #Archäologie #Kryptografie #Verschlüsselt #Verschlüsselung #EpikureischePhilosophie #ITTech
700 000 Dollar für die Entschlüsselung einer antiken Schriftrolle -
Nel 79 d.C. l'eruzione del Vesuvio seppellì Ercolano e la sua biblioteca di papiri. Per secoli, questi rotoli carbonizzati sono stati un mistero indecifrabile. A oltre anni dalla definizione di una strategia e a 10 mesi dall'istituzione di un concorso scientifico, oggi abbiamo i vincitori della Vesuvius Challenge e i primi testi svelati. Un evento straordinario, ed è solo l'inizio.

"On Monday, Nat Friedman, a US tech executive and founding sponsor of the challenge, announced that a team of three computer-savvy students, Youssef Nader in Germany, Luke Farritor in the US, and Julian Schilliger in Switzerland, had won the $700,000 (£554,000) grand prize after reading more than 2,000 Greek letters from the scroll."

Mind-blown by this story about the outcome of the “Vesuvius Challenge”: how to read burned and carbonized papyrus scrolls that cannot be opened?
Well, make a 3D CT scan, use the images to virtually unfold, recognize the ink drops, and off you go. Amazing work by three students (from Berlin, Nebraska and ETH Zurich).
Wonderful initiative by Nat Friedman.

#NatFriedman was the CEO of #Github form 2018 to 2021. Before that he started and sold two companies - Ximian and Xamarin. He is also the founder of #AIGrant and CA YIMBY. Most recently he created, funded #VesuviusChallenge - $1M prize for reading an unopened #Herculaneum #scroll for the very first time. If we can uncover these #scrolls, we may be able to recover lost #gospels, forgotten #epics, and missing works of #Aristotle. #VesuviusChallenge : https://scrollprize.org/ #EpicurianTradition
