Core Thematic Synthesis

  1. Retrieval-Augmented Generation on OCR-Corrupted Corpora: Theoretical failure modes of vector embeddings on degraded historical text; mitigation via OCR post-correction and metric space trees.
  2. Automated Evaluation of Generative Systems: Limitations of BLEU/ROUGE; calibration of LLM judges for archival accuracy.
  3. Agentic Workflows: Autonomous routing, self-correction, and human-in-the-loop validation for digital cultural heritage preservation.
