The World's First AI Model for Modi to Devnagari
I feel honoured to be the first Modi script scholar to provide data for testing the world’s first AI model that can transliterate historical Modi script documents into Devanagari. This AI model has been developed by the IIT Roorkee. The co-first authors are Harshal Kausadikar and Tanvi Kale. The contributing author is Onkar Susladkar from Yellow.AI and this project was led by Prof. Sparsh Mittal from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. While human oversight and discretion are essential in evaluating the transliterations produced by this model, it is my personal opinion that, with further development, this model will hold significant potential to expedite the process of transliterating historical documents written in the Modi script into Devanagari. Heartfelt congratulations to the entire team on the successful launch of MoScNet and on being acknowledged in the research paper. I am truly proud to have contributed to this historic initiative.
