| Challenge: | a dataset of real errors in premodern Greek is presented to improve error detection methods . scribal errors are more difficult to detect than print or digitization errors. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate 1,000 words more likely to contain errors and annotated them as errors or not . they propose to evaluate new error detection methods that outperform other methods . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms all other methods, improving true positive rate by 5%. |
