內容簡介：
這個工作坊將介紹「中央研究院文字辨識與校對系統」 (https://ocr.ascdc.tw) 之功能及操作方式。此系統是由中研院數位文化中心運用影像處理與深度學習技術所研發，其中包含了圖像處理、文本版式偵測、文字位置偵測、文字辨識、文本語意預測及依使用者反饋自動修正等核心技術，並透過網頁與資料庫技術來整合這些核心技術，以提供線上服務。

使用者可透過系統上傳文本的影像檔作自動辨識並產生文字。系統也提供人工校對功能，使用者能透過直覺式圖文對照的方式，校正自動辨識的結果，並可將自動辨識或人工校對的結果下載到自己的電腦。

Content:

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to complete text and data mining workflows for materials written in classical Chinese, from digital transcription and annotation of premodern works through to computer-assisted extraction of data from their contents. It consists of four parts:

1. Getting started using the Chinese Text Project (https://ctext.org)
2. Interactive text mining
3. Semantic annotation
4. Interactive data mining

This workshop does not assume any prior background in digital methods, and requires only a computer with a web browser. Participants are encouraged to create a free account on ctext.org prior to the workshop: https://ctext.org/account.pl and bring own device for hands-on practice.
