Hello! I am an AI and Machine Learning researcher with a background in physics and astronomy. My research focuses on interdisciplinary applications of AI and ML. Specifically, my work bridges the gap between state-of-the-art technologies and ancient literary texts utilizing technologies including Handwritten Text Recognition, Natural Language Processing, and statistical analysis. My work primarily focuses on the field of papyrology, but is broadly applicable to computer vision and language modeling research. Thanks for visiting!
I am the proud creator of the AL-PUBv2 dataset, a large-scale, crowdsourced image dataset containing Greek characters on ancient papyrus. This dataset is available on Kaggle and has been used in several deep learning research projects. Additional research projects include blockchain and smart contracts for digital edition management, as well as transfer learning and generative AI. I am also interested in the application of AI and Machine Learning to other fields such as physics, chemistry, and astronomy. Other interests include quantum computing & HPC clusters. Please check out AL-PUBv2, as well as my computational projects, and social media pages.
My team's paper, 'A deep learning pipeline for the palaeographical dating of ancient Greek papyrus fragments' was presented by my colleague Dr. Graham West at the Machine Learning for Ancient Languages (ML4AL) Workshop at the upcoming 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2024). https://www.ml4al.com/
