Google and Ubisoft Release Hieroglyphic Translator

Ubisoft Hieroglyphs Initiative teamed up with Google's Arts and Culture in 2017 and set to launch a hieroglyph translator at the British Museum previously. This month they posted an important update on the project. The project aimed to explore the possibility of using machine learning algorithms to translate the logographs of Ancient Egypt. The main contributors of the project include Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Brown and Harvard Universities, Université du Québec à Montréal, Macquarie University, along with countless Egyptologists around the globe. Ubisoft says "We started this project as a way of saying thank you to all the academics that had helped us make Assassin's Creed Origins so realistic, and for assisting us in developing the hugely popular Discovery Tour."
