Sumerian and Akkadian Cuneiform Language Translator
This is a translation network that understands Sumerian and Akkadian languages written in cuneiform.
It was trained on cuneiform transcribed in the CDLI ATF format. For example:
translate Akkadian to English: 1(disz){d}szul3-ma-nu-_sag man gal?_-u2 _man_ dan-nu _man kisz_
The network was trained to translate between the ancient languages:
- Akkadian
- Sumerian
and the modern languages:
- English
- French
- German
- Italian
- Spanish
The training data contains, primarily, English translations so those translations are best.
The network was trained on prompts such as:
translate Akkadian to English:
translate German to Sumerian:
translate Akkadian to Italian:
Limitations
It was not trained to translate between the ancient languages but it is capable of it
(translate Sumerian to Akkadian:
). Buyer beware.
Its vocabulary does not include ā, ḫ, ī, ř, š, ṣ, or ū so those letters are replaced with the unadorned letter (or "sh" in the case of š and ṣ).
