Deep learning utilization in Sundanese script recognition for cultural preservation
Abstract
This study addresses the challenge of preserving the Sundanese script, a traditional writing system of the Sundanese community in Indonesia, which is at risk of being forgotten due to technological advancements. To tackle this problem, we propose a deep learning approach using the YOLOv8 model for the automatic recognition of Sundanese characters. Our methodology includes creating a comprehensive dataset, applying augmentation techniques, and annotating the characters. The trained model achieved a precision of 95% after 150 epochs, demonstrating its effectiveness in recognizing Sundanese characters. While some variability in accuracy was observed for certain characters and real-time applications, the results indicate the feasibility and promise of using deep learning for Sundanese script recognition. This research highlights the potential of technological solutions to digitize and preserve the Sundanese script, ensuring its continued legacy and accessibility for future generations. Thus, we contribute to cultural preservation by providing a method to safeguard the Sundanese script against obsolescence.
