One of the primary sources of research, that presence is certainly worthy of appreciation because it also contributes to the development of the scientific realm. Research that utilizes ancient manuscripts as objects of study, has been carried out by many foreign and native scholars lately. But in reality, this ancient manuscript could not be accessed easily. This happened because these ancient manuscripts were not mas-produced and distributed, and there were minimal conservation efforts. Therefore the concern of the government of the nation’s assets is questionable. This paper confirms that efforts to preserve  archipelago ancient manuscripts by Pustaka Nasional Republik Indonesia (PNRI) as representatives of the government, seem to be very slow and inefficient. Their conversation efforts appear to be more reactionary than visionary. So much of the knowledge contained in the archipelago from ancient manuscripts is lost together with the destruction of the ancient manuscripts themselves. The solution must be sought immediately, so that future generations can also enjoy the nation’s cultural heritage

Creation of a neural network to assist in deciphering degraded ancient Hebrew texts

The study of ancient manuscripts is a very important field. These manuscripts hold the keys to our past as a human race. Unfortunately, many ancient manuscripts have been degraded to the point where they are no longer legible. Many techniques have been developed to try to read parts of illegible documents. Neural networks are a fairly new technology with an extremely wide range of applications. The goal of this project is to determine how useful a neural network would be as a tool to help in deciphering ancient manuscripts, and, more specifically, Hebrew manuscripts. An image processing application was created to do preprocessing on the characters, and then two neural networks were created to see how well they could perform when analyzing degraded characters. The results were not completely conclusive, but they seem to indicate that a neural network would not be a very good tool to use in analysis of degraded characters
