Happy International Greek Language Day!
9 February 2025
Today, we celebrate the historical, cultural, and linguistic significance of the Greek language. While Standard Modern Greek often takes center stage, we at Archimedes - AI and Data Science Research Hub recognize the impressive diversity and great cultural significance of its numerous dialects. These dialects present both exciting opportunities and complex challenges for AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) because each one of them presents unique linguistic features and all of them are low resourced. That’s why we’re using cutting-edge AI to document, digitize, and analyze these invaluable linguistic treasures, ensuring their preservation and accessibility for generations to come.
