OCR for Ancient Greek is constrained by a lack of open training data. But the deeper challenge tackled by 2 papers from Inria is doing OCR and document structure recovery together: section hierarchies, milestone numbering, marginal references. Paper 1: arxiv.org/html/2603.02...
Just in time for #NAPS26, the Patristic Text Archive (pta.bbaw.de) got the long overdue functional update: Each text is now automatically analysed. This is the basis for our new and improved search interface (search with #CQL and not only for words, but also for lemma and POS) and dictionary widget.
