A palimpsest is a historical manuscript in which the original text (termed undertext) was erased and overwritten with another script in order to recycle the parchment. Here we present our model for palimpsest text reconstruction. Fig.1.Results of Archimedes palimpsest reconstruction.

• Python =>3.5
• Tensorflow 1.12

• To start the inverse network for Archimedes palimpsest:
  1. Get or train weights for undertext and background generator.
  2. Set the RESTOREDPATH_B to background model file path and RESTOREDPATH_UTB to undertext model in bash script archi/finv_subgraphs.sh
  3. Set LOGDIR to desired directory for the results
  4. Set the other parameters according to the instruction at the bottom of the file archi/finv_subgraphs.py
  5. Run bash script bash archi/finv_subgraphs.sh.
• To train the undertext generator:
  1. Run file archi/undertext_gen_train.py, with mode set to `utb`.
