What apparently inactive researcher would you most like to see return?

I wish Julian Bunn was around more. 

Stolfi would be my number one choice. But also seconding Bunn.

Ha ha, thanks for that! I do pop in occasionally to see what's happening. Recently I have been experimenting with a GAN that produces artificial images of Voynich folios. I'm certain this wont help with anything, but it's fun.

I do think that GANs may be a useful tool to attack the text with, but I haven't formulated a plan yet. Perhaps worthy of its own topic.
