The LaTeCH workshops were initially motivated by the growing interest in language technology research and applications for the cultural heritage domain. The scope has soon nevertheless broadened to also include the humanities and the social sciences. Current developments in web and information access have triggered a series of digitisation efforts by museums, archives, libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. Similar developments in humanities and social sciences have resulted in large amounts of data becoming available in electronic format, either as digitised, or as born-digital data. The natural next step to digitisation is the intelligent processing of this data. To this end, the humanities, social sciences, and cultural heritage domains draw an increasing interest from researchers in NLP aiming at developing methods for semantic enrichment and information discovery and access.

The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.

  • The Reincarnation of Grille Cipher
    The Reincarnation of Grille Cipher Jia Liu, Yan Ke, Yu Lei, Yaojie Wang, Yiliang Han Minqing Zhang, Xiaoyuan Yang Key Laboratory of Network and Information Security of PAP, Engineering University of PAP, Xi’an, 710086, China [email protected] Abstract: In order to keep the data secret, various techniques have been implemented to encrypt and decrypt the secret data. Cryptography is committed to the security of content, i.e. it cannot be restored with a given ciphertext. Steganography is to hide the existence of a communication channel in a stego. However, it has been difficult to construct a cipher (cypher) that simultaneously satisfy both channel and content security for secure communication. Inspired by the Cardan grille, this paper presents a new automated framework of grille cipher, this scheme can satisfy both content and channel security simultaneously. A simple practical cipher method called Digital Cardan Grille is proposed using semantic image inpainting. We also give the difference and connection between cryptography and steganography under this new grille cipher framework. Experimental results demonstrate the promising of the proposed method. 1 Introduction In the history of cryptography, a grille cipher was a technique for encrypting a plaintext by writing it onto a sheet of paper through a pierced sheet (of paper or cardboard or similar) [1]. The earliest known description is due to the polymath Girolamo Cardano in 1550. His proposal was for a rectangular stencil allowing single letters, or words to be written, then later read, through its various apertures. The written fragments of the plaintext could be further disguised by filling the gaps between the fragments with anodyne words or letters, as shown in Fig.1 [2].

Abstract The Voynich Manuscript is a medieval manuscript whose creation dates back to the 15th century. The manuscript is written in an unknown script, and since its discovery there have been no successful attempts to decrypt it. This paper notes the peculiarities of the Voynich Manuscript and compares it cryptographically with Linear B and the CIA’s Kryptos monument. This paper examines the decipherment of Linear B and the partial decryption of the CIA’s Kryptos monument in order to discern what elements made those decryptions successful. There is not a large enough corpus of “Voynichese” text to perform any significant breakthroughs in translation, and there is evidence supporting the hypothesis that the Manuscript may be a hoax with no actual meaning contained within.
