Description
How this might work: In Akkadian, a character consists of wedges. The wedges (think "L" shapes pressed into clay) are in one of 8 possible configurations (similar to N,NE,E,SE,etc). The task would be to match an image to the list of known characters. Candidate matches could be checked against a dictionary.
If applicable, reasons why alternative solutions are not sufficient: It is difficult for people to become proficient at Akkadian, and hence many thousands of tablets remain untranslated. Adding Akkadian to Google Cloud OCR would make translation easier, and thereby help us understand more about the ancient past.
