What's a real-world use case of a vector database in the humanities? Here's one. I'm now able to extract all the sentences for each letter in my Medieval Letters dataset and pass each sentence to my @weaviate_io vector database of the Latin Vulgate. With a fairly low threshold,…


Dr Ignatius Ezeani Reposted

Introducing the new Latin Vulgate Vector Search Engine! It is built with @weaviate_io for the vector database and @streamlit for the front end. I was able to build both parts of this project in about 20 minutes. Want to test it out? Check out the link below. #Medieval #NLP

Once fine-tuned, Florence 2 works well at layout parsing medieval manuscripts! Models will be open-source and available on @huggingface this week! There is one for zone detection and one for line detection. I'll explain why in another post. More coming soon! #MachineLearning
