HieroSA (Chinese)

Paper | GitHub

We propose HieroSA (Hieroglyph Stroke Analyzer) 🏺, a framework for capturing stroke-level structural representations of hieroglyphic and logographic scripts. It automatically converts characters into normalized stroke-segment representations ✍️, without relying on handcrafted rules or script-specific priors.

HieroSA supports both modern logographic scripts and ancient hieroglyphs 🌍, enabling cross-lingual structural generalization. Experimental results demonstrate that it effectively captures character-level structure and semantics 🧩, providing a solid foundation for downstream analysis and understanding of hieroglyphic writing systems.
