Thousands of medieval manuscripts finally transcribed

Transcribing thousands of medieval manuscripts by hand would be a monumental undertaking. Fortunately, researchers in computational humanities at the Inria Paris Centre have been able to automate the task through the use of #generativeAI. Their creation is #CoMMA, a giant, one-of-a-kind corpus that will now be available to specialists in the humanities, revolutionising the exploration of writing from the Middle Ages. https://www.inria.fr/en/comma-medieval-manuscripts-transcribed

Grammar and punctuation debates generated around Harry Styles. Love it! 🤓🕺🏻

"in 1905, #Moscow printers demanded to be paid for setting not only letters but also #punctuation marks, which required the same action and the same amount of time as the alphabet. What is known as the #CommaStrike spread popular #boycott throughout the country, leading to the #czar ceding #Russia its first constitution. A #comma can, more or less, get the blood boiling."

Never imagined myself enjoying doing Deaf theatre. Soldout shows, and tonight is the last night. It has truly been an honor to do this again with a collective of talented people and to watch something grow with our local Deaf community. 💚🖤💚

Got to love #Grammarly going: hey dude you're missing a #comma after #Hell

So we are lecturing people about if and how to use hashtags now too?

#Get #A #Fucking #Life #Comma #Seriously #ExclamationMark

Can't we just agree on not being an asshole?
In my book that already includes using ALT text and especially not lecturing people.

But what do I know...

📢 Dear #Taipei_Times editors,

😱 Why use a #comma in the #headline instead of the word "and"?!

💔 Love,

Also from the post-lunch walk, a #comma #butterfly resting on an ivy plant. It was not ideally located for my purposes but I am pleased with how it has come out. It looks a bit ragged, but that is a feature of this species, not any injury.

I'd really like to meet Nelson Mandela the 800-year-old demi-god and dildo collector, he seems fun 😜😂

Comma

Another Butterfly from Friday’s visit to the meadows at Brandon Marsh: a Comma, who was active along the border between the meadow and adjacent woodland.

Really happy to see a new #copyleft -based #LLM , and this one seems to be more general-purpose than former attempts such as #PleIAs. The #Comma model is trained with #CommonPile, a new training pile with 8 TB of public domain and copyleft data. huggingface.co/papers/2506.052…

I have had people go frothing at the mouth when I point out that a lot of #punctuation is "#silence #notation."

A #comma is a point of silence, it is shorter than the point of silence of a #period. #Ellipsis (...) is a fade to silence. #Emdash/dash is an abrupt silence. #Parenthesis invokes a point of silence before and after an aside, much the same length as a comma.

People forget that the written word is made to represent the spoken word, that includes silence and change of pitch.
