Abstract

Middle High German Contextual String Embeddings (Backward) This model provides contextual string embeddings for Middle High German (MHG), trained on literary and historical texts as part of the digital humanities research surrounding medieval Germanic languages. It is specifically optimized for **Middle High German corpora** and serves as a robust general-purpose embedding for downstream NLP tasks involving medieval German. Note that backward models are designed to be used in combination with their forward counterparts. The model was trained on open data prepared by Mittelhochdeutsche Begriffsdatenbank (MHDBDB).
