- Reposted by Digital MedievalistWhen talking about #OCR / #HTR / #ATR and #OldNorse I’ve been often asked whether LLMs and VLMs aren’t going to take away “our jobs“. Well, as much I’d love them to, the #digitalhumanities hackathon last wk demonstrated that we’re nowhere near yet. @ecoledeschartes.bsky.social @psl-univ.bsky.social

- Thank you for joining @invisibleeast.bsky.social for our @digitalmedievalist.bsky.social #takeover this week. It has been a pleasure to share some of our news, in an especially busy & exciting week, with your community here on Bluesky. 🧵 #digitalhumanities #medievalsky
- Our PI @arezouazad.bsky.social & Editorial Fellow Nadia Vidro will be @imc-leeds.bsky.social next week - why not head over to our panel with @mideastmedieval.bsky.social exploring scribal & epigraphic techniques applied & works produced in the #Islamicate world between the 8th & 13th centuries CE.
- To keep up-to-date on news from @invisibleeast.bsky.social you can follow us here and on various other socials! All of our events & publications can be found on our project website nvisibleeast.web.ox.ac.uk where you can also get in touch to ask to be added to our mailing list. Have a good weekend 😀
- Did you know that the @invisibleeast.bsky.social team, colleagues and advisory board members are hard at work writing and editing a series with @edinburghup.bsky.social entitled 'The Islamicate East: New Approaches to Texts and History'? edinburghuniversitypress.com/series-the-islamicate-east 🧵
- One publication is about the #Barmakids, a family whose dramas (involving kings from China, fire-eating ostriches & illicit love affairs!) unfold in the #Persian compilation 'Akhbār-i Barmakiyān'. Find out more about the fascinating #manuscript with our PI @arezouazad.bsky.social: bit.ly/Barmakids
- The curators @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social have included the 'Akhbār-i Barmakiyān' in their latest Weston Library exhibition, which runs until late October. Worth a visit if you can make it to #Oxford! Here is Arezou with our 'Reader's Choice' selection for #Treasured. #medievalsky #skystorian
- Hear a Jewish merchant in Ghazna (modern-day #Afghanistan), writing over 1,000 years ago — torn between his work and his family. Explore this document on the @invisibleeast.bsky.social #digitalcorpus, where four more newly published #Judeo-Persian texts have been added... 🧵
- Here, our colleague Nadia Vidro reads a translation of the #letter — offering a rare glimpse into the everyday life of Jewish communities in medieval Afghanistan: #medievalsky #digitalhumanities
- Reposted by Digital MedievalistThe takeover continues on @digitalmedievalist.bsky.social with some insights on @invisibleeast.bsky.social digital corpus new release! #medievalsky #manuscripts #historysky
- We’re getting ready for our summer holidays! ☀️⛱️ You might have started Duolingo or bought a phrase book you won’t touch until you panic read it on the plane. Many of us are brushing up on handy phrases like: 👉 “Where’s the train station?” 👉 “Can I pay with card?” 👉 “A table for two, please.”
- While you agonise over these sentences, spare a thought for these students in 11th-century #Bamiyan, who had very different language priorities. Found among the Bamiyan Papers, this 1,000-year-old phrasebook contains some rather specific terminology... 🤔
