Editing Voynich manuscript (section)

=== Greg Kondrak ===
Greg Kondrak, a professor of natural language processing at the [[University of Alberta]], and his graduate student Bradley Hauer used [[computational linguistics]] in an attempt to decode the manuscript.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Artificial intelligence takes a crack at decoding the mysterious Voynich manuscript |magazine=[[Smithsonian Magazine]] |date=31 January 2018 |url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/artificial-intelligence-takes-crack-mysterious-voynich-manuscript-180967983/ |access-date=2 February 2018 |archive-date=3 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180203064107/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/artificial-intelligence-takes-crack-mysterious-voynich-manuscript-180967983/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Their findings were presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics in August 2017 in the form of an article suggesting that the manuscript's language is most likely [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], but encoded using alphagrams, i.e. alphabetically ordered [[anagram]]s. However, the team admitted that experts in medieval manuscripts who reviewed the work were not convinced.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/mysterious-manuscript-decoded-computer-scientists-ai-a8180951.html |title=Mysterious 15th century manuscript finally decoded 600 years later |date=27 January 2018 |work=The Independent|access-date=27 January 2018|archive-date=27 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127184629/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/mysterious-manuscript-decoded-computer-scientists-ai-a8180951.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hauer |first1=Bradley |last2=Kondrak |first2=Grzegorz |year=2016 |title=Decoding anagrammed texts written in an unknown language and script |journal=Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics |volume=4 |pages=75–86 |doi=10.1162/tacl_a_00084 |doi-access = free |url=https://transacl.org/ojs/index.php/tacl/article/view/821 |access-date = 27 January 2018 |archive-date = 28 January 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180128132541/https://transacl.org/ojs/index.php/tacl/article/view/821 |url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Computer scientist claims clues to deciphering mysterious Voynich manuscript |newspaper=[[The National Post]] |date=24 January 2018 |url=https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/computer-scientist-claims-clues-to-deciphering-mysterious-voynich-manuscript-2 |access-date=27 January 2019 |archive-date=13 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210113081130/https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/computer-scientist-claims-clues-to-deciphering-mysterious-voynich-manuscript-2 |url-status=live}}</ref>
