Automated Phonological Transcription of Akkadian Cuneiform Text (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Akkadian was an east-semitic language spoken in ancient Mesopotamia . cuneiform text does not mark the inflection for logograms, so the inflected form needs to be inferred from the sentence context. |
| Approach: | They propose to automate phonological transcription of the transliterated Akkadian corpora . transcription is normalized according to the grammatical description of a given dialect . they find that cuneiform text does not mark the inflection for logograms . |
| Outcome: | The proposed transcriptions show the Akkadian renderings for Sumerian logograms, while the logogram transcription is more challenging. |

| Challenge: | morphological analyzer for Akkadian is not yet available for the extinct language . we present a general finite-state based model for Babylonian that can achieve a coverage of 97.3% and a recall of 93.7% on token level. |
| Approach: | They propose a general finite-state based morphological model for Babylonian that can achieve a coverage of 97.3% and recall up to 93.7% on lemmatization and POS-tagging tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can achieve coverage and recall of 97.3% on lemmatization and POS-tagging tasks on token level from a transcribed input. |
