πΎ I explore ancient texts, manuscripts, and cultural heritage using modern computational tools.
π My work combines HTR, NLP, philology, and network science to understand texts, people, and historical systems.
π Researcher in Digital Humanities and Digital Classics
π Working on HTR for manuscripts, scribal studies, paleography
π Applying NLP to historical languages, ancient corpora & critical editions
π Interested in network analysis of texts, people, places & cultural interactions
π Experienced with TEI XML, IIIF, semantic web, and cultural data modeling
π Passionate about AI for cultural heritage, manuscript digitization & text encoding
π I build and analyze networks of:
- ancient authors & texts
- scribes and manuscript transmission
- places, events, and cultural exchange
- semantic, lexical, and concept networks
- social networks in historical sources
- HTR for manuscripts, papyri, inscriptions, codices
- Computational philology & digital editions
- Network analysis of texts, authors, manuscripts
- Cultural heritage informatics & semantic web
- NLP for ancient / historical languages
- TEI XML, IIIF, and digital curation workflows
- Stylometry, authorship, semantic shift
- Knowledge graphs for classical studies
βThe automation of the linguistic analysis of texts is not intended to replace the humanist, but to free him from the mechanical part of his work.β
