New benchmark Loci Similes aids Latin intertextuality detection

Researchers have introduced Loci Similes, a new benchmark designed to aid in the detection of intertextual connections within Latin literature. This benchmark includes a dataset of approximately 172,000 text segments with 545 expert-verified parallels, focusing on Late Antique authors and their classical influences. The goal is to facilitate the development of language models capable of identifying semantic similarities beyond simple lexical matches, thereby advancing intertextual research. AI
