Here are the Yorkshire data. Scarborough and Hull.
Did ships get bigger in the C17th? Yes. Contact me if you would like access to the data and would like to discuss. And of course the devil is in the detail, but this is a relatively and well defined large dataset #earlymodern #marinehistory @thiagokrause.bsky.social @brodiewaddell.bsky.social

A potential use of AI image analysis which could be done at scale as part of an analysis of historic literacy? I loaded images of 140 signature, initial(s), mark(s) into NotebookLM & interrogated them palaeographically (with zero training). @thiagokrause.bsky.social @timhitchcock.bsky.social

I have been busy these last four months. Now looking for a publisher. Any suggestions. Can supply draft chapters and appendices for anyone interested in taking a look. @timhitchcock.bsky.social @brodiewaddell.bsky.social

4/ I am performing the test fine-tune from a Colab notebook, and am monitoring the evaluation, training and systems data from a Weights and Biases monitoring screen. I'm using a paid T4 GPU @beismo.bsky.social

2/ My first fine-tuning run is going to be a fine-tune of mBert (110M parameter LLM) using paired line Yiddish Hebrew text. I am running it for 10 epochs as a test. I got Gemini to modify some existing code I have @beismo.bsky.social @timhitchcock.bsky.social

I am working with @beismo.bsky.social to fine-tune two small large language models to correct raw machine transcription of Yiddish in Hebrew script. We plan to show the results this coming Tuesday at our next ai-and-history-collaboratory @timhitchcock.bsky.social @mark-l-thompson.bsky.social

Do you wonder what "fine-tuning" a large language model means? How could it help in historical research? Next Tuesday during our weekly one hour ai-and-history-collaboratory we are going to run some code and train a small large language model called mT5 github.com/Addaci/marin...
