It’s pretty easy to figure out what I mean if __ few symbols are missing from this sentence. But what __ ____ are _______ missing? Context might allow you to guess the content of the previous sentences, but could you do the same if ___ _____ ___ _______ _______?

According to a new paper by researchers from DeepMind and the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Classics, AI can help restore, understand, and recreate ancient Greek texts that have been damaged and left with gaps that make them nearly impossible to understand. The work will be presented next month at the Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing conference in Hong Kong.
