Researchers have developed SARCLIP, a retrieval system designed to search historical Spanish American notary records from the seventeenth century. This system utilizes a CLIP ViT-B/16 model fine-tuned on expert-annotated paleography data to overcome challenges posed by inconsistent handwriting and archaic orthography. SARCLIP employs FAISS for scalable approximate nearest-neighbor retrieval across a corpus of over 13.6 million word-image patches, incorporates pseudo-relevance feedback for result refinement, and includes a human-in-the-loop cycle for browsing, annotation, and retraining.
