Wow, fascinating! I hope Iâm not the only OCR-minded soul on here that immediately started thinking of pipelines for this one could assemble from all our new DL-enabled toys⌠itâs a shame that âsome American kidâ probably doesnât meet their contracting requirements.
One thing that kinda baffles is that it sounds like the snippets (I bet that German word is fun) havenât been scanned(/photographedâŚ?) yet. No matter who they contract with, wouldnât that necessarily be step #1? Or is the scanning the part that needs contracting, and the âe-Puzzlerâ name was just a lil melodramatic?
For one thing, I feel like itâll be wildly helpful that theyâre on a variety of papers, not challenging like they imply. Once that and bag index have narrowed down neighbor candidates, youâve got rules and glyphs to go off of, much less recognizable form layouts. It feels like the Vesuvius scrolls but actually tractableâŚ

There's nothing technical to discuss; where's the meat? This 2012 article at least has pictures: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-19344978
I speculate the problem is not technical but financial or otherwise; the ML to do this was up to the task at least ten years ago.
