Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the international DH

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,

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.
