Abstract

This contribution presents an overview of Parallel Text Processing, particularly Translation Alignment, and illustrates the current status of this task in ancient languages. In the first part, we provide the fundamental principles of Parallel Texts and give an overview of their applications for the study of ancient texts. In the second part, we indicate how Parallel Texts can be leveraged to perform other NLP tasks, including automatic alignment, dynamic lexica induction, and Named Entity Recognition. In the conclusion, we emphasize current limitations and future work.
