Project Description: Grace Su is a sophomore at Columbia University majoring in computer science. This summer, she worked with Drs. Sanjay Krishnan, Sandra Schloen, and Miller Prosser on a CDAC Discovery Grant project titled, “Deciphering Cuneiform with Artificial Intelligence.” She worked on researching and developing DeepScribe, a tool that deciphers cuneiform with artificial intelligence, using a training set of 100,000+ images from the Oriental Institute’s OCHRE data service. She developed an image classification model with Keras, built a Python module for the computer vision pipeline, and performed experiments to investigate and improve the computer vision model.
