Graph Distances on the Ge’ez Writing System Characters
Abstract: In this talk we will explore ways of comparing
structural similarities and differences within the Ge’ez writing system
using graph distances. The characters (“fidelat”, singular “fidel”) of
this writing system are modeled as graphs and distances between them are
analyzed using different graph distances.
Some of the graph distances that will look at include: edge rotation and
edge slide distances, maximum common subgraph and minimum common
supergraph distances, and graph edit distances.
