TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Toward Automatically Assembling Hittite-Language Cuneiform Tablet Fragments into Larger Texts"

This paper presents the problem within Hittite and Ancient Near Eastern studies of fragmented and damaged cuneiform texts, and proposes to use well-known text classification metrics, in combination with some facts about the structure of Hittite-language cuneiform texts, to help classify a number of fragments of clay cuneiform-script tablets into more complete texts. | Toward Automatically Assembling Hittite-Language Cuneiform Tablet Fragments into Larger Texts Stephen Tyndall University of Michigan styndall@ Abstract This paper presents the problem within Hittite and Ancient Near Eastern studies of fragmented and damaged cuneiform texts and proposes to use well-known text classification metrics in combination with some facts about the structure of Hittite-language cuneiform texts to help classify a number of fragments of clay cuneiform-script tablets into more complete texts. In particular I propose using Sumerian and Akkadian ideogrammatic signs within Hittite texts to improve the performance of Naive Bayes and Maximum Entropy classifiers. The performance in some cases is improved and in some cases very much not suggesting that the variable frequency of occurrence of these ideograms in individual fragments makes considerable difference in the ideal choice for a classification method. Further complexities of the writing system and the digital availability of Hittite texts complicate the problem. 1 Introduction The Hittite empire in existence for about 600 years between 1800 and 1200 BCE left numerous historical political and literary documents behind written in cuneiform in clay tablets. There are a number of common problems that confront Hittite scholars interested in any subdiscipline of Hittitology be it history philology or linguistics. Horst Klengel summarizes the issue most crucial to this paper Some general problems affecting both philologists and historians are caused by 243 the Hittite textual tradition itself. First the bulk of the cuneiform material is fragmentary. The tablets discovered in various depots in the Hittite capital and in some provincial centers normally were of a larger size. When the archives were destroyed the tablets for the most part broke into many pieces. Therefore the joining of fragments became an important prerequisite for interpretation Klengel 2002 . Most Hittite texts are broken but
