It talked about digitization but that could mean a lot of things. Are they just putting pictures of the fragments up? Is there a transcription of the fragments. Can the algorithm transcribe a fragment or does someone have to do that and then feed it to the algorithm? I don't know as much about cuneiform tablets but people get PhDs just to be able to recognize what letters are on a papyrus fragment. I'd be surprised if a computer could do that already.
