N o area of mathematics has attracted more international attention in the past decade than the Palimpsest of Archimedes. The 1998 auction at Christie’s, followed by collaborative work centered at the Walters Art Museum led to traveling museum exhibits, newspaper articles, television specials, and dozens of presentations. Mathematicians and other scholars attracted a new and significant audience...

We present a high-capacity model for one-shot association learning (hetero-associative memory) in sparse networks. We assume that basic patterns are pre-learned in networks and associations between two patterns are presented only once and have to be learned immediately. The model is a combination of an Amit-Fusi like network sparsely connected to a Willshaw type network. The learning procedure ...

The objective of the character recognition effort for the Archimedes Palimpsest is to provide a tool that allows scholars of ancient Greek mathematics to retrieve as much information as possible from the remaining degraded text. With this in mind, the current pattern recognition system does not output a single classification decision, as in typical target detection problems, but has been design...

La restauració el 2011 del plom F.20.1 de Iàtova va eliminar la pàtina que impedia llegir correctament text més antic cara A. En aquest conviuen a A dos textos en forma palimpsest, però afortunadament, ni preparació abans realitzar segon text, van els traços antic. Aquest ja s’havia identificat, tant Fletcher com Untermann identificaven fragments aïllats amb molts dubtes lectura. nova autòpsia ...
