• New Pattern Lab feature for MATHesis

  30/06/26, 15:53

  I added a new work-in-progress feature to my MATHesis website today. The new Pattern Lab (Open project link ↗) uses Christopher Cullen’s edited Chinese text, translation, and annotation of the Sifen li¹ as a case study.

  It offers a preliminary comparison tool for identifying similarities among procedural structures and tracing how technical terms function across a manually annotated set of chunks.

  The aim is to build an explainable and reproducible framework for extracting structural patterns from Chinese calendrical and astronomical writings. Instead of relying on black-box similarity, the tool uses manually curated annotations as a controlled reference layer, allowing procedural operations, parameters, outputs, and term roles to be compared and checked against the source text.

• Launching my personal academic website

  This website is now online as a small working archive for my CV, digital humanities projects, and research notes.

  I will use this space for short updates on MATHesis, Sanskrit manuscript transcription, and other experiments with historical texts and digital methods.
