Classics x AI Workshop

Join the E-Lab for a demonstration of how Artificial Intelligence can not only compliment the humanities, but unlock new knowledge.

Thea Sommerschield (Assistant Professor at Durham University) led a group of academics working together with Google DeepMind to develop two LLM models, “Aeneas” and “Ithaca”, that can expand our knowledge of Roman and Greek epigraphy by filling in the gaps in inscriptions and providing more accurate dating than ever before.

In this workshop, Thea will outline the research the team undertook, explain how the LLM models work to solve and date incomplete inscriptions, and provide a demonstration of how to use the models for both academics and interested attendees alike. This includes a new dating for Augustus’ own Res Gestae Divi Augusti.
