Where to apply
Requirements
Research Field Literature » European literature Education Level PhD or equivalent
Skills/Qualifications
- Organization of research and higher education in France and abroad
- Knowledge of ancient languages (Latin, Greek) and their digital processing
- Knowledge of XML and TEI standards
- Proven knowledge of data science, natural language processing, and applied artificial intelligence
Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, the Research Engineer will identify and link literary and grammatical citations across the entire corpus of source texts. While the literary citations in the normative manuals and works on meter from the CGL online corpus (Garcea & Lomanto ed. 2022) have already been identified, the grammatical citations have not yet been. Neither grammatical nor literary citations in the commentaries and glossographic works have ever been analyzed as a whole in the field of digital humanities, and their exact number remains unknown: literary citations in Festus are estimated at 1,560 (North 2007: 49), in Servius at around 1,500 (Pellizzari 2003: 222-245), and in Nonius at 7,176 (Cadoni 1987: 15). This task presents a major methodological challenge, as both grammatical and literary citations need to be collected in such a way that each citation is presented in all its forms and contexts.
The XML-TEI structuring will be carried out using the Teinte software developed by the Sorbonne team ObTIC, a tool that enables the mass and automatic conversion of OCR documents into XML-TEI format. Annotation will be performed using the open-source application INCEpTION, and the resulting reference sub-corpora will be adapted for use with machine learning systems to identify these citations in new texts.
