Landwirtschaft: Hightech gegen Unkraut auf Gemüsefeld

Auf den Tiroler Gemüsefeldern setzen seit Kurzem fünf Landwirte bei der Unkrautbekämpfung auf Hightech. Eine neue Maschine, die mittels künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Lasertechnologie arbeitet, verspricht weniger Arbeitsaufwand und mehr Effizienz.

If you rely on open source and need something specific, consider backing it—this is how projects stay alive. Just sayin’ 😉

Small update to #Annotorious, my #JavaScript image annotation library: You can now rotate rectangle shapes!

Quick question to the Fediverse: has anyone successfully implemented image embedding in the browser *with WebGPU support*?

All my attempts seem to fail. Regardless of wether im using Transformers.js or onnxruntime-web, pre-built models or ONNX files exported myself – at runtime, processing always seems to fall back to CPU.

(Interestingly: segmentation with a self-exported FastSAM model runs fine and *does* use WebGPU.)

@anwagnerdreas no worries – the code is pretty scattered and there are a lot of repositories :-)

text-annotator-js is specifically for handling (manual) annotation interaction on TEI/XML rendered with CETEIcean in the browser. There's only a bit of mapping between DOM selection ranges and TEI XPath expressions.

The other repo I shared is for your exact use case, and we use it to generate "text-annotator-js-compatible" annotations from NER.

Happy to chat about things if you want to know more about it!

@anwagnerdreas @eeditiones @davidlassner @TEIConsortium @cmboulanger

Thanks for sharing! I'll read through the details later with interest!

FWIW: Claude's assessment of "Family E" might be based more on the eeditiones repo, perhaps. But at least it only vaguely relates to text-annotator-js ;-)

As far as Recogito is concerned, here's what we are using for exactly the described use case instead:

https://github.com/recogito/tei-standoffconverter-js

It's essentially a TypeScript port of the "Family A" code, slightly modified to our use case.

@sarahalang @felwert feel free to get in touch if you want. I'm interested in SAM3 myself, and keen to hear what others' experiences with SAM (2 or 3) in DH are!
