Intelligenti Pauca - Probing a Novel Alternative to Universal Dependencies for Under-Resourced Languages on Latin
Abstract
In this paper, we aim at improving the study of Latin in three ways: 1) by providing better visualizations of syntagma and structure for both research and the classroom, 2) by supporting a high-level search interface for corpus exploration, and 3) by improving the accuracy of taggers and parsers. To achieve this, we introduce a new linguistic description called Intelligenti Pauca, an alternative to Universal Dependencies for under-resourced languages.
We show the key differences between the two linguistic descriptions, how the structure of Intelligenti Pauca favours our goals, and the effect it has on parsing accuracy for the Index Tomisticus Treebank.
