In this paper, we present the first attempts to develop a machine translation (MT) system between Spanish and Shipibo-konibo (es-shp). There are very few digital texts written in Shipibo-konibo and even less bilingual texts that can be aligned, hence we had to create a parallel corpus using both bilingual and monolingual texts. We will describe how this corpus was made, as well as the process w...

Geolat – Geography for Latin Literature is a research project, aimed at making accessible a digital library containing the works of Latin literature (from its origins to the end of the Roman Empire) where the geographic knowledge expressed in the Latin texts themselves can be reused. To do so the core of Geolat is the GO! ontology developed ad hoc to describe the geographical knowledge containe...

D epartement de math ematiques et applications-Abstract. A new way of representing texts written in natural language is introduced, as a conditional probability distribution at the letter level learned with a variable length Markov model called adaptive context tree model. Text categorization experiments demonstrates the ability of this representation to catch information about the semantic con...

With the new interest in historical documents insight grew that electronic access to these texts causes many specific problems. In the first part of the paper we survey the present role of digital historical documents. After collecting central facts and observations on historical language change we comment on the difficulties that result for retrieval and data mining on historical texts. In the...

This paper motivates and details the first implementation of a freely available part of speech tag set and tagger for Coptic. Coptic is the last phase of the Egyptian language family and a descendent of the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. Unlike classical Greek and Latin, few resources for digital and computational work have existed for ancient Egyptian language and literature until now. We evalu...

Background Stylometry is a field that uses statistical and computational techniques to study the style of authors. Stylometry is used to address questions authenticity, authorship, and chronologies, among other questions. Most famously, Mosteller and Wallace used statistical techniques to determine the disputed authorship of the Federalist papers.1 More recently in 2015, stylometric techniques ...

     This study focuses on the effect of user-friendly, impersonal, and hybrid texts on the reading comprehension ability of Iranian foreign language learners. Forty-five students of AlzahraUniversity were selected on the basis of their performance in a recent TOEFL. They were given three different texts (each group of 15 students was given one type) describing the same area of English usage, w...

Ancient texts can support intertextuality in different ways through digital tools for databases and for tasks that scholars and studentsdo, when they interactwith the texts in new ways. This contribution explores how the corpus of the Hebrew Bible created and maintained by the Eep Talstra Center for Bible and Computer has potential for redefining the way we learn from our ancient texts as moder...
