Unlocking the Secrets of Ancient Rome with AI
Researchers have developed Aeneas, a groundbreaking AI tool that revolutionizes how we reconstruct missing texts from ancient Roman inscriptions. This innovative technology analyzes a vast dataset, predicting lost words and providing historical context.
Key Highlights:
- First-of-its-kind AI: Aeneas is designed specifically for analyzing Latin inscriptions.
- Massive Dataset: Utilizes 176,861 inscriptions spanning from the 7th century BC to the 8th century AD.
- Precision Predictions: Can determine the date and origin of inscriptions with impressive accuracy, sometimes within a 13-year window.
- Collaborative Effort: Developed by Thea Sommerschield from the University of Nottingham in partnership with Google DeepMind.
Sommerschield describes the impact of Aeneas as “jaw-dropping,” making historical exploration more accessible.
