However, these ancient texts can be quite obscure sometimes. It’s challenging for many of us to understand them. Here is good news for us. Recently, a college research team from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province has created “Xunzi” to help with the understanding of Chinese ancient books and research on them. Xunzi is a large language model (LLM) which includes a great number of Chinese ancient books and documents, like the collections of the “Complete Library in Four Sections” or “Siku Quanshu”. It uses deep learning techniques (技术) and big data (数据) sets, and collects more than two billion Chinese characters and words. This LLM was named after Xunzi because he was not only a famous philosopher (哲学家) during the Warring States Period, but also a pioneer in presenting and explaining theories of linguistics (语言学理论) in ancient China. With the model, researchers can quickly summarize (总结) the ancient texts and know about the themes of the ancient books. It can also find key information from the ancient texts, such as characters, events and places. Besides, the model can help researchers translate the ancient texts into modern Chinese, so they can fully understand them without the help of other dictionaries or books. “The research on traditional Chinese classics is hard work even for professors, let alone for common learners. We just hope Xunzi can help save some time and energy for people,” said Wang Dongbo, who led the research team.
