Experience

Riken

Researcher • May 2024 - Present

At RIKEN in Tokyo, my role involves harnessing the potential of tensor-based methods to tackle the intricate challenge of image classification for historical language datasets. The primary goal is to develop algorithms capable of accurately identifying and classifying script styles and ages from various historical periods. This task is particularly challenging due to the diversity and complexity of historical scripts, which often include variations in style, degradation over time, and regional differences. My research contributes to the broader field of digital humanities by creating tools that help historians and linguists access and analyze vast archives of unreadable texts more efficiently, thereby unlocking new insights into our cultural heritage.
