We visited universities in Al-Qadisiyah, Babylon, Baghdad & Mosul, expecting ~50 participants but met more than 185 archaeologists and Assyriologists! Grateful for the warm welcome, thoughtful discussions, and strong interest in collaboration.
I spent last week in Iraq with Hayder Aqeel, Jaafar Jotheri & @runeisforr.bsky.social presenting our project CDLI-ACT, translating the interface for the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative: cdli.earth/postings/225

Ah! One of the two only products from Israel I have ever owned. The other one was a falafel maker which I had no idea was from there when I bought it. The Soda Stream is in the Garage.
One of these grants has funded most of the work necessary to rebuild the CDLI infrastructure from 2017 to 2021, which has translated into 10x more visitors to the site because of improved access.
The Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI cdli.earth) would not be what it is without the generous support of the @neh-odh.bsky.social and its Digital Humanities Division. #ThanksBrett @brettbobley.bsky.social !
Do you mean the grant to make a statue for Trump's garden or the one about America's pioneers?
Congrats :-)
Also the Dutch roundabouts are surreal and make my cyclist self completely starstruck 🚴
In Amsterdam for #dhbenelux2025 and got the privilege.to catch up in person with #cdli lead dev @larswillighagen.bsky.social 😁
So far, photographs of artifacts are generally considered a product owned by the photographer or their employer. The NINO collection is leading in the right way exactly in the terms you describe, where the copyrights have expired as the original author is long gone.
Hi! It's both: cuneiform signs are impressed so the are harder to make out on 2D images but that's what we have most compared to 3D models. We also don't have any good training set.

Not a great time to be looking for DH jobs but add me to the list of people looking for work. I’m also available for Python / Django development more generally.
Hi There! This is important groundwork to address the challenge of text recognition for cuneiform. This technology is not widely used now, but as more experiments are run using various approaches, I am hopeful that we will develop tools that can accurately recognise cuneiform signs on clay tablets.
