Wenyi Shang1, Seiko Ochi2
1University of Missouri, United States of America; 2Meijo University, Japan
Using Transformer-based models, this study contributes to an inclusive approach to understanding history, examining how males and females were depicted differently in medieval Chinese epitaph verses and which classical texts these verses resemble. The findings highlight a discourse shaped by patriarchal privileges, echoing the assertion that "the subaltern cannot speak."
