Finds old Latin words in mixed-language papers.
This paper presents a novel task of extracting Latin fragments from mixed-language historical documents with varied layouts. We benchmark and evaluate the performance of large foundation models against a multimodal dataset of 724 annotated pages. The results demonstrate that reliable Latin detection with contemporary models is achievable. Our study provides the first comprehensive analysis of these models' capabilities and limits for this task.
