Abstract
This paper provides an overview of diverse applications of parallel corpora in ancient languages, particularly Ancient Greek. In the first part, we provide the fundamental principles of parallel corpora and a short overview of their applications in the study of ancient texts. In the second part, we illustrate how to leverage on parallel corpora to perform various NLP tasks, including automatic translation alignment, dynamic lexica induction, and Named Entity Recognition. In the conclusions, we emphasize current limitations and future work.- Anthology ID:
