# Hieroglyph Unicode Translator Model

This model was created to translate hieroglyphs into english. 

Egyptian Hieroglyphs have been grouped into different classes and given a referencing method called Gardiner Codes using Gardiner Classification.

Using the Gardiner Codes we can assign meanings to different combinations of hieroglyphs.

To Translate any sequence of hieroglyphs using this model, provide the following input :-

"Translate hieroglyph unicode sequence to English: {Gardiner Codes of the Hieroglyphs}."


## Model description

This model is a fine-tuned version of [t5-small](https://huggingface.co/t5-small) on a custom dataset derived from the [Dictionary of Middle Egyptian](https://archive.org/details/DictionaryOfMiddleEgyptian).

## Intended uses & limitations

The Model is intended to be used to translate hieroglyphs.
The model does not provide full sentences, it only outputs bits and keywords.
