Abstract

Medieval Latin Abbreviation Expander (abbreviationes-v2) This model is a specialized Seq2Seq transformer designed to expand medieval scribal abbreviations (brevigraphs and suspensions) into their full forms. It was specifically trained to handle the complexities of Latin manuscripts based on a fixed set of special characters used in [Burchards Dekret Digital](www.burchards-dekret-digital.de). The model was developed as part of the projects **"Embedding the Past"** (LOEWE-Exploration, TU Darmstadt) and **"Burchards Dekret Digital"** (Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur | Mainz).
