The problem is of practical importance, as the size of the existing corpus far exceeds the number of experts available to analyze it. But the task is made difficult by the combination of limited annotated datasets and the high-resolution point-cloud representation of each tablet. To address this, we develop a convolution-inspired architecture that gradually down-scales the point cloud while integrating local neighbor information. The final down-scaled point cloud is then processed by computing neighbors in the feature space to include global information. Our method is compared with the state-of-the-art transformer-based network Point-BERT, and consistently obtains the best performance. Source code and datasets will be released at publication.
