Pythia takes as input the damaged text, and is trained to return hypothesised restorations of ancient Greek inscriptions, working as an assistive aid for ancient historians. Its neural network architecture works at both the character- and word-level, thereby effectively handling long-term context information, and dealing efficiently with ...
The trio were able to read 2,000 letters from the scroll after training machine-learning algorithms on the scans. After creating a 3D scan of the text using a CT scan, the scroll was then ...
After using artificial intelligence to uncover the first word to be read from an unopened Herculaneum scroll, a team of researchers has revealed several nearly complete passages from the ancient ...
Using AI and computer tomography, researchers have pulled one word from the indiscernible 2,000-year-old Herculaneum scrolls, which were burned in the Vesuvius eruption.
Phonetic transcriptions can be read with some approximation. Scholars can understand some of the words, and get a general idea of the document's contents. [2] Cypro-Minoan syllabary, c. 1550 BC. Grakliani Hill script – Grakliani Hill, c. 11th – 10th century BC. Paleohispanic scripts. Southwest Paleohispanic script, from c. 700 BC.
The text ended by calling for copies of the decree to be inscribed "in sacred, and native, and Greek characters" and set up in Egypt's major temples. [53] Upon reading this passage in the Greek inscription the French realised the stone was a parallel text, which could allow the Egyptian text to be deciphered based on its Greek translation. [54]
On 5 February 2024, the Grand Prize, for reading PHerc. Paris. 4, was awarded to Farritor, ETH Zurich robotics student Julian Schilliger, and Free University of Berlin Egyptian Ph.D student Youssef Nader for recovering 11 columns of text, or 2000 characters total, which is about 5% of the contents of the scroll.

AI-assisted research nearly doubles the number of known Nazca geoglyphs, ancient symbols formed in the ground by moving stones or gravel that date back 2,000 years.
