Dear DH Asia members,
We are pleased to announce the international DH symposium titled:
“New Frontiers in Digital Images and Texts: Recent Advances in Automatic Character Recognition and Their Applications.”
The symposium will take place on Tuesday, June 3, starting at 13:30 (Japan Standard Time), in Tokyo, and will be conducted in a hybrid format.
The symposium will feature key discussions led by Professor Peter Stokes, co-leader of the escriptorium project at PSL University in Paris, renowned for developing software for automatic handwritten text recognition, and Mr. Toru Aoike from the National Diet Library of Japan, who specializes in developing OCR for Japanese cursive scripts (kuzushiji). The discussions will focus on the extraction and utilization of textual data from digital images.
The symposium will primarily be conducted in Japanese; however, simultaneous English interpretation will be available.
We warmly invite you to participate.
