This module was implemented as part of the project "Potentials of Advanced Text Technologies: Machine Learning-based Text Recognition" (PATT). PATT was a two-year project (summer 2023 - summer 2025) and was funded by the Digitsalisierungsinitiative der Zürcher Hochschulen (DIZH).

The PATT project was run by the chairs of Prof. Dr. Simon Teuscher (History of the Middle Ages) at the Department of History at the University of Zurich and Prof. Dr. Cerstin Mahlow (Digital Linguistics and Writing Process Research) at the Department of Applied Linguistics.

In addition to the teaching module, the project team was able to bring together stakeholders and experts in dealing with ATR in seven workshops to share experiences and discuss best practices. We would like to thank all participants in the workshops for their interest and valuable contributions, which enabled the successful completion of this module.
