Site University of Crete at Rethymno (Greece)
The objective of this PhD is to preserve and open cultural items in such a way that they are shareable, linkable and findable. Particular attention will be paid to scarce resources such as linear B inscriptions. Deep Learning will be used to complete inscriptions. Terminology, ontology and knowledge graphs will be used for their representation. Expected results include the creation of an online museum and library dedicated to the Linear B inscription in compliance with the Linked and Open Data standards.

This PhD is one of the 3 PhD positions in AI for DH offered by the TALOS ERA Chair Project (https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/) funded by the European Union. The objective is to create a new centre of excellence in Artificial Intelligence for SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) and DH (Digital Humanities) that will interconnect several departments of the University of Crete at Rethymnon under a common research and teaching agenda. TALOS aims to combine the strengths of Symbolic Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, and Natural Language Processing to create a scalable, sustainable and explainable representation of knowledge in the Humanities and the Social Sciences.
The activities of the TALOS Center will be led by Professor Christophe Roche (http://christophe-roche.fr/)
