27.02.2014 Workshop on Historical Document Analysis in Switzerland
The Diva Group at University of Fribourg invited Swiss Researchers to a Joint Workshop on Historical Document Analysis in Switzerland. We used this opportunity in order to encourage exchanging information about current work and perspectives on Historical Document Recognition and Processing in Switzerland.
As the SNF-funded project HisDoc 2.0 just recently started, we would start speaking about the scientific goals in that project and give each participant the opportunity to give a 30 minutes presentation; followed by joint discussion, and potential collaborations in the future.
