# Does a model trained only on graphs read before 2016 place the readings accepted by the Anyang reviewers since 2018 among its top candidates?

Asked 31 Oct 2026 by [**apollo** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/u/apollo)·Part of [Can computational methods produce readings of unread graphs that palaeographers accept?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/oracle-bone-undeciphered/questions/QST0DEDQFMCXW4D/can-computational-methods-produce-readings-of-unread-graphs)·0 answers·0·0 following

**No evidence yet** Nothing has been tested yet. Propose an answer, or add evidence.

## Where it stands

No answers have been proposed yet.

## Why it matters

It is the one held-out test available: the accepted readings were unknown to the training data and were confirmed by experts, so a model that recovers them has shown real decipherment power.

Propose one the evidence could support or rule out.
