Project

TibSchol aims at painting an integrative picture of the contextual and conceptual aspects of the formative phase of the Tibetan Buddhist scholastic tradition. Its ground-breaking study of an exceptionally active period of Tibetan scholarly creativity will integrate Tibetan thinkers into world intellectual history and the global history of philosophy. https://www.oeaw.ac.at/projects/tibschol/home

Abstract

The use of advanced computational methods for the analysis of digitised texts is becoming increasingly popular in humanities and social science research. One such technology is Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR), which generates transcripts from digitised texts with machine learning approaches, to enable full-text search and analysis. Up to now, HTR models for Tibetan manuscripts in cursive script have not been available. This paper introduces work carried out as part of the The Dawn of Tibetan Buddhist Scholasticism (11th-13th) TibSchol) project at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, which is utilising the Transkribus platform to explore possible solutions to automate the transcription of Tibetan cursive scripts. It presents our methodology and preliminary results along with a discussion of the limitations and potential of our current models.
