Statistics Software Translate Mysterious Manuscript

Team of computer experts from the United States and Sweden to make a breakthrough in translating ancient manuscripts. They used computational algorithms and statistical science to solve the full text of a code.

Ancient manuscript translated text is as thick as 105 pages with 75 thousand hand-written character named Copiale Gipher. This work was written at the end of the 17th century by a secret group that uses a mixture of mysterious symbols and the Roman alphabet.

Text translation efforts for decades has always ended in failure. Since the beginning of this year, experts in computer science from the Information Sciences Institute University of Southern California, USA, and Uppsala University, Sweden, started to do the translation. At first they did not know the original language used by the author of the text. Researchers then draw the assumption that the author uses a mixture of Roman language interspersed false symbols. Later they realized that assumption was wrong.

The approach is then performed by assuming the text is written in German. Thus, the Roman alphabet used in this paper can be regarded as a troublemaker and diabalkan.

They also found a colon as a multiplier before consonants. Furthermore, they make software that applies statistics to pair with the arrangement of symbols in German script.

"It turned out to be applicable to decode," said computer expert from the Information Sciences Institute University of Southern Caiifornia, Kevin Knight.

Knight was very surprised of the success of techniques for decoding is usually done by a cryptography expert, not a computational linguists like himself.

An even greater shock came when Knight read the translation results. Copiale Cipher turned out to contain a unique ritual performed eye surgery a secret group. "Solving Cipher Copiale is meticulous work of Kevin and his colleagues," said Nick Pelling; expert software design and security of the UK. *** [NYTIMES | ANTON WILLIAM | KORAN TEMPO 3689]
