- Stephen Parsons, visiting scholar at the University of Kentucky, discusses his role of writing sophisticated artificial intelligence programs (AI) and building machine learning frameworks with the goal of revealing Herculaneum ink.
BREAKTHROUGH: A major announcement on the two-decade journey to uncover ancient wisdom and read the Herculaneum scrolls will take place at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 12 via livestream: engr.uky.edu/live
You can learn more about the Vesuvius Challenge, an on-going global competition to read the Herculaneum scrolls, here: scrollprize.org/
..i am also a computer scientist, 67 yrs old..and i've always felt instinctively that this & more..so much more..is Possible. Never thought i would get to See it though, as it is painstakingly slow in arriving to this day, at long last the day is Here...my heart is singing...what can be done now ..is Unlimited.
This is straight up dope dawg! I am pretty sure the text will be some kind of spoken-word / rap from 2000 years ago. Cannot wait to see it unveiled.
Powerfully inspiring to all scholars and students. It is meaningful to me as I observe the positive influence that your relatively small core team has on the department, the college, the university and the world. I have not been directly involved in any of the work, but I cannot deny the positive impact it has on all the students that have worked on this project over the decades. The most amazing element of this endeavor of humans developing useful technology is the long term discipline and leadership that daily resists the temptation to see something that isn't there. It is incredibly poetic that the two adjacent greek letters appeared as "hi" to you long ago. It is powerful to think that two glyphs led the pack of words and phrases that are yet to be revealed by this technology that will unlock all sorts of time capsules.
Crazy to see people my age doing such groundbreaking work. Really inspiring
That truly is amazing!! The Greek letters looking like they said Hi is a great moment, has more text or content been released?
Keep it up! This is inspiring work.
Please let Stephen know, that if he can to do a specific code in the A.I. program that would initially allow a reverse oxidation scenario of sulfur ink, I do believe this would work. I am in no way able to even begin know how to code this, but, if you tell Brent I said this, he has all the instructions in his email to be able to do this physically to prior scrolls that have been tested so that you can in turn find the way to code it. I have also spoken to Brent via zoom in February, of the year. Ultimately, the ink will show up bright yellow if the process is done accurately and of course, safely. Much Love!
Questo è veramente un miracolo! Bravissimi! Avanti tutta. Ancora non riesco a crederci.
INCREDIBILE
Επιτελούς θα μάθουμε και άλλα για τον μέγα διδάσκαλο. Το οφείλουμε στην μνήμη του!
Good luck.
Damn, in 15 years they'll be able to take one of your turd samples and read your thoughts.
But also I kid. This is really amazing, mind blowing actually, that we have the tech to be able to do this. Really amazingly good job guys.
