Assembling Fragments of Ancient Papyrus via Artificial Intelligence

The knowledge of humanity passes through the ancient texts whose acquisition, reconstruction and interpretation become tasks of fundamental importance. The simultaneous spread of equipment capable of exploiting new technologies for data acquisition together with the opportunities offered by Artificial Intelligence open new unimaginable horizons in different applications including the conservation of cultural heritage. In this work, we refer to the opportunity inherent the acquisition of texts from papyri via machine learning and deep learning applications. The theme of assembling fragments, will be investigated by referring to some recent interesting contributions of the scientific community.
