| Thymele
(An Open-access Dynamic Multimedia Dictionary of the Performing Arts):
Τhe National project, entitled Thymele, aims to conduct basic research in
the field of Performance Studies, and particularly in the domains of the
theory and terminology of Performance Studies. More specifically, the
project aims to create a basic infrastructure tool, an innovative multimedia
Dictionary, which will contribute towards the creation of a commonly
accepted conceptual and interpretative framework for the Performing Arts,
and the terms and concepts in common use in this field. The project will
offer specially designed digital applications which allow the precise
linguistic and formal expression of these terms and notions, their semantic
interconnection, the highlighting of potential relationships between them,
the recording of the argumentation and the rationale behind their gradual
formation, as well as the location of primary and secondary material which
could serve as documentation. At the same time, the project will promote the
diffusion of knowledge on the subject of the Performing Arts in wider
audiences. The system will take the form of an open access internet
platform, which will offer dynamic multimedia content with crowd-sourcing
features concerning the addition of material and the use of hypermedia.
March 2024 - January 2026

| reBook
(Digital platform for republishing historical Greek books): National
project (region of Attica)
aiming at the development of a smart Digital Platform for re-publishing
Historical Greek Books. The aim is to develop new techniques and
methodologies for text recognition (mostly polytonic, modern and
foreign-language) for scientific cultural heritage documentation, as well as
reducing the time and cost of all relevant processes (digitization –
documentation) related to the re-publishing of historical Greek Books in
modern Greek language. Achieving the above goal will be done through a
modern digital visualization and document management platform that will
allow for the immediate, easy-to-use and user-friendly processed texts.
August 2022 - August 2024

| ShakeIT
(Corpus-Assisted Drama Translation Research: Shakespeare In Translation):
Novel Optical Character Recognition (OCR) techniques for polytonic
handwritten and printed texts in order to assist the research project
“Corpus-Assisted Drama Translation Research: Shakespeare In Translation –
ShakeIT” of the University of Cyprus. Research goals: (a) the improvement of
current Greek polytonic OCR state-of-the-art technologies by incorporating
advanced image processing, pattern recognition, machine learning and deep
neural network techniques into the OCR pipeline, (b) the creation of a
state-of-the-art corpus for Greek Polytonic OCR that can be used by the
research community for training and evaluation purposes. April 22, 2021 -

| CULDILE
(CULtural DImensions of deep LEarning): Greek GSRT funded project to
develop an integrated expert system for capturing documents, enhancing
images and understanding cultural documents. The capturing of an image as it
is produced by a low cost scanner as well as pre-processing it, is the first
stage of document processing aimed at improving scanned image quality and
creating an excellent digital copy. In addition, improving the quality of a
document image is a very important step because it helps to succeed in
downstream processing such as fragmentation and recognition and is necessary
due to the particular problems of quality and appearance of historical
documents to be processed. Recognition and partition are key stages of
document understanding and will assist a human expert during a cataloguing
phase. The designation and identification of repeating elements such as:
drop letters, dedicatory notes, typographic jewelry, titles, title
decorations, character families, tables of contents and indices as well as
locating the position of specific keywords that characterize the content of
the documents or part of it will be automated. This will achieve a “world’s”
unique application (software) that assists in the scientific documentation
of cultural documents. July 18, 2018 - January 17, 2023

READ (Recognition and Enrichment
of Archival Documents) project: READ is a project funded by the
European Commission (H2020-EU.1.4.1.3. - Development, deployment and
operation of ICT-based e-infrastructures). The overall objective of READ
is to implement a Virtual Research Environment where archivists,
humanities scholars, computer scientists and volunteers are
collaborating with the ultimate goal of boosting research, innovation,
development and usage of cutting edge technology for the automated
recognition, transcription, indexing and enrichment of handwritten
archival documents. This Virtual Research Environment will not be built
from the ground up, but will benefit from research, tools, data and
resources generated in multiple national and EU funded research and
development projects and provide a basis for sustaining the network and
the technology in the future. Starting: 1/1/2016 Ending: 30/06/2019.
