For more than 50 years, the decipherment of a mysterious ancient script called Linear B was seen as one of the greatest linguistic riddles - it was eventually cracked in 1952 by a British architect.

We therefore developed a variant decoder, the empirical linear decoder (ELD), for which the pooling weights and offset are learned from the data.

Kober now knew that Linear B was an inflected language, with word endings that shifted according to use - like Latin, or German or Spanish. Alice Kober was on the verge of deciphering Linear B.

When a British architect finally cracked Linear B in the 1950s, he was hailed as a genius - but he may never have succeeded had it not been for a woman on the other side of the Atlantic.
