Fig. 6: Case study of two rejoined fragments H16756 and H16773.
From: A multi-modal dataset and method for bone-level association prediction in oracle bone inscriptions
The fragments, labelled H16742, H16756, H16773 and H16776 are all from the Oracle Bone Inscription Collection19, and are rejoined as from the same source bone. Sentence a) from H16756 records a divination concerning whether disasters occur within the next ten days. Sentence b) from H16773 exhibits a similar syntactic pattern, but some characters are missing. It records a divination, predicting that something will not occur. Based on the proposed method, this pair achieves an association score of 0.0102, ranking within the top 12.72% of all sentence pairs in the test dataset, which follow a 1:10 ratio of pairs from the same source bone to randomly generated cross-bone pairs. The annotation score shows the limitation of the proposed method in dealing with incomplete sentences. The hand-drawn illustrations are provided solely for explanatory purposes and are not included in the dataset.
