2 trechosThe name — a bóthros (βόθρος) is the pit Odysseus digs in the Odyssey, pouring libations so the spirits of the dead rise to speak with him. Apt for a tool that reads scripts silent for three thousand years.
yolo_aegean_unified.pt — one YOLO11s detector localising signs for both
scripts (sign detection is class-agnostic; Linear A and Linear B signs are
visually cognate).la_classifier.pth / lb_classifier.pth — ConvNeXt-Tiny classifiers
(AB-codes for Linear A; B-codes + readings for Linear B).lb_class_to_reading.json — Linear B B-code → phonetic reading map.Scope: this release covers Linear A and Linear B. Cretan Hieroglyphic (a stronger internal result, held back over train/test leakage in too small a corpus) and Cypro-Minoan (parked — the comparable Corazza 2022 corpus is non-redistributable) are not in v0.1.0; see the GitHub repo for status.
| metric | Linear A | Linear B | DeepScribe (cuneiform ref) |
|---|---|---|---|
| classifier oracle top-1 | 79.3% | 64.5% | 74% |
| pipeline E2E sign top-1 | 68.7% | 63.8% | 56.3% |
| pipeline per-line F1 | 64.9% | 76.5% | — |
| CER (lower better) | ~0.48 | 0.44 | 0.669 |
Per-line F1 is at the precise operating points (conf-filter 0.25 LA, n=133 / 0.30 LB, n=320). DeepScribe is a cross-domain reference (different script/corpus, hand-annotated GT, 141 classes vs LA 374 / LB 142), not a head-to-head. Full methodology + reproduction: GitHub repo.
Cross-script: a Linear-B-only detector reads Linear A at 60.7% F1 zero-shot — the
basis for shipping one unified aegean-unified detector for both scripts.
Two sets ship here. Benchmark (yolo_aegean_unified.pt, la_classifier.pth,
lb_classifier.pth) — strict held-out split; the numbers above are theirs; use these
to reproduce/compare. Release (*_release) — retrained on the full data incl.
the held-out split: max capability + broader coverage (LB 148 vs 142 classes), but
NOT benchmarkable (they have seen the test tablets — cite the benchmark numbers,
not these). Fetch with download_weights.py --release; run with bothros read ... --release.
