Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new study examines the intertextual relationships between authors in classical Latin literature . a large corpus of lemmatized Latin is used to train word embeddings . |
| Approach: | They propose to train an optimized word2vec model on a large corpus of Latin . they then replicate a previous study of the Roman historian Livy using hand-crafted stylometric features. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms a widely used lexical search method on Latin epic poetry . it advances the development of core computational resources for a major premodern language . |
