# Medieval Data 🏰

Welcome to the **Medieval Data** organization, a dedicated platform for offering datasets specifically curated for training machine learning models on medieval-specific tasks.

These datasets and models are maintained by [William J.B. Mattingly](https://wjbmattingly.com/)

## Datasets 📚

Here's a quick overview of our available datasets:

1. **MGH Critical Edition Dataset**: 100 annotated pages of an MGH critical edition to parse out the main body text and titles from marginalia and footers.

## Models 🛡️

1. **MGH Object Detection YOLOv8**: Annotate an MGH critical edition to extract the main body text and titles automatically. This helps in downstream OCR with Tesseract.

Replace `dataset_name` with the specific name of the dataset you're interested in.

## Contribute 🤝

We welcome contributions! If you have a medieval-specific dataset or have annotations that can be added, please reach out.
