Abstract

Recently, many sophisticated techniques have been used to classify ancient characters just like Phoenician, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Maya glyphs. This paper proposed a new technique based on Convolutional Neural Network to classify (CNN) characters from Sumerian texts. The work was motivated by the challenges that faced with the status of Sumerian tablets which some had been broken and distorted by erosion factors. This technique includes taking the dataset of the Sumerian character's features and apply to these characters. Then, after initializing the weights for the output neurons, the layers of the CNN are prepared. Finally, the performance of this network is evaluated. This technique shows significant results and time-consuming.
