Abstract

The Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) recently emerged as a powerful framework for producing new knowledge from existing knowledge. These models aim to learn patterns from input data then use that knowledge to generate output data samples that plausibly appear to belong to the same set as the input data. Medieval manuscripts study has been an important research area in the humanities field for many decades. These rare manuscripts are often times inaccessible to the general public, including students in scholars, and it is of a great interest to provide digital support (including, but not limited to translation and search) for accessing these materials. We propose a GAN framework that uses manuscript images and their translations to create a model capable of new translation from new manuscript images. Such a model would provide great assistance to humanities researchers seeking to produce digital editions of old manuscripts.
