With technology making a big leap in recent years, many unknown issues are coming to light. Although artificial intelligence support has reached frightening dimensions for some in recent years, it can be beneficial for humanity in many areas. Finally, historians also receive this support.
Remarkable research: Faces designed by artificial intelligence give more confidence!
AI-generated faces are more reliable than real faces. Where is deep fake technology headed?
DeepMind’s Ithaca completes deleted sentences
While it is very difficult to read the writings written on stones by ancient civilizations, many parts of them can be damaged and erased over time. DeepMind, owned by Google, which works on artificial intelligence, developed Ithaca, which makes surprisingly accurate predictions about missing words, the location and date of text. Historians doing research on Greek civilization began to use this model.
Worn and damaged places are expressed as spaces in the texts of historical findings. The program developed by Deep Mind creates a suitable text using data such as the spacing of the damaged area and the course of the sentence with the support of artificial intelligence. A high rate of accuracy was obtained in the tests performed. This situation reveals that artificial intelligence will also have important help outside of technology.
Historians working on the ancient Greek civilization began to receive support from Ithaca. A lot of data has been added to the library of the program, such as the alphabet and known history of this civilization. Of course, it should be noted that historians do not leave the entire workload to Ithaca. The program will be used as a tool, not a solution.
In a text published by DeepMind, experts had a 25 percent accuracy margin in the first place. They quickly achieved 72 percent accuracy when paired with Ithaca. This is a ratio that historians come to after long studies. So much so that being able to get to this rate quickly will make it pretty easy to find the rest.
