The origins of much ancient literature remain a mystery. This project is an attempt to uncover the origins of the ancient Indian literature, the Vedas, through a collaborative approach using linguistics, philology, and data science.
This project is supported as an interdisciplinary project in the priority area of humanities and social sciences by Kyoto University’s internal funding program, SPIRITS.
