A Hackathon for Classical TibetanArticle

Authors: Orna Almogi 1,2; Lena Dankin 3; Nachum Dershowitz 3; Lior Wolf 3


We describe the course of a hackathon dedicated to the development of linguistic tools for Tibetan Buddhist studies. Over a period of five days, a group of seventeen scholars, scientists, and students developed and compared algorithms for intertextual alignment and text classification, along with some basic language tools, including a stemmer and word segmenter.
