Inscription Character Eras

A Character Dataset of Sinhala Epigraphical Scripts Belonging to Different Periods

This dataset was developed as part of our research paper titled "A Period Prediction System for Sinhala Epigraphical Scripts using Ensemble CNNs and Attention Modules", published in the Journal of ECTI Transactions on Computer and Information Technology. The dataset is provided solely for research and academic purposes, without any commercial intent. We encourage its use in future studies related to inscriptions and epigraphical scripts.

If you use this dataset, please cite our original research paper, where the methodology and insights behind the dataset's creation and application are detailed.
