- A novel method was developed to detect double-$Λ$ hypernuclear events in nuclear emulsions using machine learning techniques. The object detection model, the Mask R-CNN, was trained using images generated by Monte Carlo simulations, image processing, and image-style transformation based on generative adversarial networks. Despite being exclusively trained on $\prescript{6\ }{ΛΛ}{\rm{He}}$ events, the model achieved a detection efficiency of 93.8$\%$ for $\prescript{6\ }{ΛΛ}{\rm{He}}$ and 82.0$\%$ for $\prescript{5\ }{ΛΛ}{\rm{H}}$ events in the produced images. In addition, the model demonstrated its ability to detect the $\prescript{6\ }{ΛΛ}{\rm{He}}$ event named the Nagara event, which is the only uniquely identified double-$Λ$ hypernuclear event reported to date. It also exhibited a proper segmentation of the event topology. Furthermore, after analyzing 0.2$\%$ of the entire emulsion data from the J-PARC E07 experiment utilizing the developed approach, six new candidates for double-$Λ$ hypernuclear events were detected, suggesting that more than 2000 double-strangeness hypernuclear events were recorded in the entire dataset. This method is sufficiently effective for mining more latent double-$Λ$ hypernuclear events recorded in nuclear emulsion sheets by reducing the time required for manual visual inspection by a factor of five hundred.
