A Computational Model of Text Reuse in Ancient Literary Texts
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a computational model of text reuse tailored for ancient literary texts, available to us often only in small and noisy samples. The model takes into account source alternation patterns, so as to be able to align even sentences with low surface similarity. We demonstrate its ability to characterize text reuse in the Greek New Testament.

Yet most instances of textual similarity are not meaningful literary allusions. The goal of the Tesserae project (http://tesserae.caset.buffalo.edu) is to automatically detect allusion in a corpus of literary texts, primarily Classical Latin poe...

متن کاملDiscovering Multilingual Text Reuse in Literary Texts
We present here a method for automatically discovering several classes of text reuse across different languages, from the most similar (translations) to the most oblique (literary allusions). Allusions are an important subclass of reuse because they involve the appropriation of isolated words and phrases within otherwise unrelated sentences, so that traditional methods of identifying reuse incl...
