- This is a great model. Emily was kind enough to share it with our @vchlondon.bsky.social project and it has been so helpful. It allowed volunteers with no training to accurately transcribe Early Modern records. This would have been so much harder without her help
Just pushed the button on running the Egerton model for the last time before we make it public. We hit 1.1 million words in the training data and 126,000 in the verification set. This has been three years in the making, but it's a great model and really accurate. @transkribus.bsky.social
