# Sumerian and Akkadian Cuneiform Language Translator
|
6 |
+
|
7 |
+
This is a translation network that understands Sumerian and Akkadian languages written in cuneiform.
|
8 |
+
|
9 |
+
It was trained on cuneiform transcribed in the CDLI ATF format. For example:
|
10 |
+
|
11 |
+
```text
|
12 |
+
translate Akkadian to English: 1(disz){d}szul3-ma-nu-_sag man gal?_-u2 _man_ dan-nu _man kisz_
|
13 |
+
```
|
14 |
+
|
15 |
+
The network was trained to translate between the ancient languages:
|
16 |
+
|
17 |
+
* Akkadian
|
18 |
+
* Sumerian
|
19 |
+
|
20 |
+
and the modern languages:
|
21 |
+
|
22 |
+
* English
|
23 |
+
* French
|
24 |
+
* German
|
25 |
+
* Italian
|
26 |
+
* Spanish
|
27 |
+
|
28 |
+
The training data contains, primarily, English translations so those translations are best.
|
29 |
+
|
30 |
+
The network was trained on prompts such as:
|
31 |
+
|
32 |
+
* `translate Akkadian to English: `
|
33 |
+
* `translate German to Sumerian: `
|
34 |
+
* `translate Akkadian to Italian: `
|
35 |
+
|
36 |
+
|
37 |
+
## Limitations
|
38 |
+
|
39 |
+
It was *not* trained to translate between the ancient languages but it is capable of it
|
40 |
+
(`translate Sumerian to Akkadian: `). Buyer beware.
|
41 |
+
|
42 |
+
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).
