| Challenge: | Using a multi-level annotation, we present a corpus of the R. GVEDA . |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-level annotation of the R . GVEDA, a Sanskrit text composed in the 2. millenium BCE, and a basic argument identification algorithm to supplement missing verb-argument links. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model replaces verb-argument links by LSTM based model . the proposed model is based on a LS-based model to supplement missing verb-al arguments. |
