What is LostMa?
A digital humanities research project that blends AI, complexity science, and philological expertise to unravel the mysteries behind the deviation from pure chance of a text's transmission.
We are funded by the European Research Council (ERC) for five years, 2024-2029. Our offices are in the Campus Condorcet's Hôtel à projets and we are hosted by the École nationale des chartes in Paris, France.
We are a small team with collaborators from around Europe, contributing area expertise on various textual traditions.
We are building a multilingual corpus of Medieval literary traditions, focused on epics and knights' tales.
We are designing ML models and workflows to predict narratives' evolution and transmission over time and space.
