This paper describes additional aspects of a digital tool called the ‘Textual History Tool’. We describe its various salient features with special reference to those of its features that may help the philologist digitize commentaries and …

Harnessing Deep Cross-lingual Word Embeddings to Infer Accurate Phylogenetic Trees

Establishing language relatedness by inferring phylogenetic trees has been a topic of interest in the area of diachronic linguistics. However, existing methods face meaning conflation deficiency due to the usage of lexical similarity-based measures. …

Utilizing Word Embeddings based Features for Phylogenetic Tree Generation of Sanskrit Texts

Tracing the root of a text i.e., the original version of the text, by inferring phylogenetic trees has been a topic of interest in philological studies. However, existing methods face meaning conflation deficiency due to the usage of lexical …

An Introduction to the Textual History Tool

This paper describes a digital tool called the Textual History Tool in detail. This tool captures the historical evolution of a text through various temporal stages, and inter-related data culled from various types of related texts. This tool also …

Utilizing Wordnets for Cognate Detection among Indian Languages

Automatic Cognate Detection (ACD) is a challenging task which has been utilized to help NLP applications like Machine Translation, Information Retrieval and Computational Phylogenetics. Unidentified cognate pairs can pose a challenge to these …

Cognate Identification to improve Phylogenetic trees for Indian Languages

Cognates are present in multiple variants of the same text across different languages. Computational Phylogenetics uses algorithms and techniques to analyze these variants and infer phylogenetic trees for a hypothesized accurate representation based …
