arXiv says it is committed to these values and only works with partners who adhere to them. If you have an idea for a project that will add value for arXiv's community, you can learn more about arXivLabs. This page appears under the References & Citations browse context.
Key Points
- AI trained on 3.1 billion words of pre-1918 Polish text can understand and generate old-style Polish.
- Could help historians, genealogists, and writers work with historical documents more easily.
- Only works for Polish from that specific era, and requires powerful computers to run.
Why It Matters
This AI could make old Polish documents accessible, helping historians and families uncover their past.
