The Cyrillo-Methodian heritage is a common phenomenon of European value, promoting religious tolerance, cultural equality, and understanding of European cultural history and identity. The virtual cluster KYRILLOMETHODIKON developed at the Cyrillo-Methodian Research Centre (CMRC) at BAS is part of the Centre of Excellence "Heritage BG" (BG05M2OP001-1.001-0001 Project), aiming to provide structured knowledge on this phenomenon and its manifestations. The digital repository offers resources for research on the first stage of Slavic Christian culture with an accent on its Old Bulgarian part, reflecting the multidisciplinary research paradigm of the Centre: studies in medieval literature, linguistics, history, theology, art history, and anthropology. To ensure the educational socialisation of the research in these disciplines, a Scientific and Educational Interdisciplinary Centre for Cyrillo-Methodian studies was created within the framework of KYRILLOMETHODIKON, sharing educational tools for a wide range of audiences, including children, school students, undergraduates, and doctoral candidates.

The power of logarithmic quantizations and computations has been recognized as a useful tool in optimizing the performance of large ML models. There are plenty of applications of ML techniques in digital preservation. The accuracy of computations may play a crucial role in the corresponding algorithms. In this article, we provide results that demonstrate significantly better quantization signal-to-noise ratio performance thanks to multiple-base logarithmic number systems (MDLNS) in comparison with the floating point quantizations that use the same number of bits. On a hardware level, we present details about our Xilinx VCU-128 FPGA design for dot product and matrix vector computations. The MDLNS matrix-vector design significantly outperforms equivalent fixed-point binary designs in terms of area (A) and time (T) complexity and power consumption as evidenced by a 4 × scaling of AT 2 metric for VLSI performance, and 57% increase in computational throughput per watt compared to fixed-point arithmetic.

The palimpsests represent unique historical sources that hold the potential for new insights in the field of human history. These manuscripts, rewritten and reused over time, pose challenges in the research related to their readability and interpretation. The present study aims to investigate the readability of palimpsests through the use of image preprocessing techniques. The article focuses on methods for the preprocessing of palimpsests that could lead to a significant improvement in the readability of the 'hidden' text. The challenges encountered during the processing of palimpsests are explored and various techniques applicable to improving the readability of these manuscripts are analyzed. The primary goal of preprocessing in this context is to separate the 'hidden' text from the visible one, neutralizing material defects and aging. The article presents specific methods such as extracting specific color range from a palimsest image. The experimental techniques are highlighted with sample codes illustrating the application of the respective technology. The current research attempts to advance the development of methods for processing palimpsests and opens up new perspectives for extracting information from those historically valuable manuscripts.

In this paper we present some modifications to and extensions of a Wordnet for Bulgarian designed to make it more appropriate for applications in the area of language learning. However, in order to support education, we need to ensure the appropriate selection of sets of synonyms (synsets) from BTB- Wordnet, depending on the education level of the learners, and various types of exercises based on integration of the learning topic and semantic information within Wordnet. For this purpose, our focus is mainly on the combination of the lexemes (lemmas), with their meanings and examples, and the specially designed pictures as illustrations of those meanings within the synsets. We report on our preliminary results.

The feature extraction is very important for emotion recognition through speech. There are several approaches when dealing with emotion recognition. In this paper, we present different feature extraction approaches as well as different models used to differentiate between a neutral speech versus an emotional speech sample. This research is instrumental for the digitization and preservation of cultural heritage, as it allows us to capture and analyze the emotional nuances in historical audio recordings, ensuring their accurate representation for future generations. We have selected two works consisting of a total of four different methods for emotion recognition. In the first paper by Jacob (2017), we look at Decision tree and Logistic Regression. Decision tree attains an 84.45% accuracy on the test class whereas logistic regression is able to achieve an accuracy of 66.85% after stepwise regression. These methods contribute to the digital archiving of cultural heritage by providing robust tools for analyzing and preserving the emotional content of spoken artifacts. In another paper by Bhatti et all. (2004), sequential forward selection (SFS) was used to create subsets from the given features and relevance of the subsets of features. General regression neural network was used to evaluate the accuracy which was found to be 80.69%. As a complementary purpose, modular neural network was performed with an accuracy of 83.31% with the same dataset. These techniques enhance our ability to maintain the integrity and emotional depth of cultural heritage recordings in digital archives.
