Reconstructing the Masterpieces of Ancient Near Eastern Literature With the Help of Artificial Intelligence

The aim of the project “Electronic Babylonian Literature” (eBL), funded by the Humboldt Foundation, is to develop digital tools that automate, and thus dramatically accelerate, the process of reconstruction. In his lecture, Enrique Jiménez, Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Literatures at LMU Munich, will showcase various methods for automating the reconstruction of ancient Near Eastern literature on the basis of artificial intelligence.
