Abstract
This paper gives an overview of the Cardamom project, which aims to close the resource gap for minority and under-resourced languages
by means of deep-learning-based natural language processing (NLP) and exploiting similarities of closely-related languages. The project
further extends this idea to historical languages, which can be considered as closely related to their modern form, and as such aims to
provide NLP through both space and time for languages that have been ignored by current approaches.
