Pattern Analysis Software Tools
The study of written artefacts generates an ever-increasing amount of digital data in various forms, from raw images to data produced by advanced acquisition techniques. Manual analysis of this data is time-consuming and prone to human error and bias. Thus, a set of Pattern Analysis Software Tools (PAST) has been developed for the automatic analysis of visual and tabular patterns in this research data. These tools facilitate a more efficient study of written artefacts, enabling scholars to benefit from rapid advancements in computational pattern analysis. Additionally, these tools provide insights derived from the statistical analysis of research data. Each PAST tool is developed and tested in collaboration with experts to ensure its usability and relevance to actual research questions.
