Automatic Normalisation of Early Modern French (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Spelling normalisation is a useful step in the study and analysis of historical language texts, whether it is manual analysis by experts or automated analysis using downstream natural language processing (NLP) tools. |
| Approach: | They propose a new benchmark for the normalisation of Early Modern French into contemporary French using ABA, alignment-based approach and MT-approaches. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method homogenises the variable spelling in historical documents and reduces the gap between the historical state of the language and the contemporary state. |
