New HERIT system enhances historical translation using retrieval-augmented generation

Researchers have developed HERIT, a novel system designed to overcome language barriers in historical archives by adapting machine translation models. HERIT utilizes retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to create high-quality pseudo-labeled data from existing Hanja-Korean corpora, effectively addressing data scarcity and temporal bias. This approach significantly improves translation accuracy across different historical periods, enabling broader global access to valuable historical resources. AI

IMPACT This research could significantly improve access to historical archives by making them more translatable.
