Aeneas is a new open-source AI model from Google DeepMind that helps historians restore, date, and place fragmentary ancient inscriptions. It analyzes both text and images to provide new context on ancient texts.
This is a fascinating project from Google DeepMind, using AI to help restore damaged ancient inscriptions. It reminds me of the curiosity I've had since I was a kid for piecing together the past. While I was more into archaeology, the core challenge of interpreting fragmentary evidence like this is what's so compelling.
I know that AI-assisted inferences can't be used as definitive historical evidence, but a tool like Aeneas provides an incredibly important direction for interpretation, helping historians see new connections in fragmentary texts.
Perhaps this all points to an age-old truth: we restore the past to better predict the future.
Congratulations on this groundbreaking AI! Unlocking lost pieces of history doesn’t just help specialists, but also connects curious people like me with the wonders of the ancient world
Restoring ancient texts with AI is next-level smart—connecting old fragments with context is just genius, tbh. DeepMind folks are on another level, fr!
Ngl, being able to restore and date ancient fragments with AI is just wild—historians are gonna love this, realy next-level stuff!
Wow, it sounds great for historians! It's amazing how AI is now stepping into the world of ancient texts. I'm not a historian myself, but I've always been fascinated by archaeology and ancient cultures.
Restoring lost history with AI? That’s wild, tbh. Being able to date and place ancient scraps is gamechanging for researchers. DeepMind team just keeps leveling up, fr.
Finally, a great use of AI in academic and scientific research. This is how it should be used: medicine, understanding history, and through it, how the world works. (I hope that the knowledge gained will lead to many historical documentaries, which I would love to see. As usual.) :)
Restoring damaged inscriptions with actual context? Thta's something historians have needed for a long time.
