Comments

The proposed course on Ancient Language Processing aims to focus specifically on ancient languages and scripts from the emergence of writing in Mesopotamia and Egypt up till 800 AD. There are millions of pieces of writings in these ancient languages, which require expert knowledge of these languages, explicit efforts to build lexicon and corpora, as well as new-designed Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. This course will introduce students of ancient history, ancient Near Eastern languages, and computer science to this subfield of Natural Language Processing. They will engage inscribed artifacts from dataset pre-processing, via analysis with methods of distant reading to their final digital publication. The are three methodological focal points: (a) bag of words approaches (character- and word-level analysis), (b) networks and co-occurrences, (c) deep learning (neural networks).
