Exploring Large Language Models for Classical Philology (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in NLP have led to the creation of powerful language models for many languages including Ancient Greek and Latin. |
| Approach: | They propose to use encoder-only and encoder decoder architectures to create four models for Ancient Greek that vary along two dimensions for tasks of interest for Classical languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models improve on existing models of Ancient Greek and Latin and provide a large pre-training corpus for Ancient Greek to support the creation of a larger, comparable model zoo for Classical Philology. |
Cross-Lingual Generalization and Compression: From Language-Specific to Shared Neurons (2025.acl-long)

| Challenge: | Existing evidence suggests that multilingual language models can transfer knowledge across languages without explicit cross-lingual supervision. |
| Approach: | They analyze the parameter spaces of three multilingual language models to examine their representations . they find that models evolve from language-specific representations to more specialized layer functions . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can generate coherent English text, rather than spanish text, and it can generate generalized representations, the authors show. |

| Challenge: | a dataset of real errors in premodern Greek is presented to improve error detection methods . scribal errors are more difficult to detect than print or digitization errors. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate 1,000 words more likely to contain errors and annotated them as errors or not . they propose to evaluate new error detection methods that outperform other methods . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms all other methods, improving true positive rate by 5%. |
