Automatic Collation for Diversifying Corpora (ACDC) Data

ACDC Project, Data: One of OpenITI’s major deliverables in our most recent round of work is the Automatic Collation for Diversifying Corpora (ACDC) project and ensuing tool, which we are now making available for wider use and experimentation: the relevant code and instructions for installation and use are available on Github, and additional data and documentation will be forthcoming. ACDC is one component in our multi-pronged strategy to significantly boost handwritten text recognition for Arabic script as manifest within the manuscript tradition, a tradition of text production that dates from around the time of the Qur’an’s codification all the way down to the present (in some parts of the Islamicate world manuscript production for various purposes remains very much alive!).
