Since I have begun talking about POS tagging with the CLTK, my educator contacts have been asking about ways they and their students can contribute. I am happy to share greek_pos_edit_xenophon_anabasis (not a very compelling name, I know), which contains all of Xenophon’s Anabasis tagged with the CLTK’s latest version of the TnT tagger (on which, read more here).

I have taken pains to make these files easy to read and edit. With GitHub, anyone can edit in–browser, which I think will lower the bar to entry and allow any student of Greek to contribute.

Below is an example of a corrected sentence. See here in–progress editing of Anabasis 1.

Sentence 1

Plaintext

Δαρείου καὶ Παρυσάτιδος γίγνονται παῖδες δύο, πρεσβύτερος μὲν Ἀρταξέρξης, νεώτερος δὲ Κῦρος· ἐπεὶ δὲ ἠσθένει Δαρεῖος καὶ ὑπώπτευε τελευτὴν τοῦ βίου, ἐβούλετο τὼ παῖδε ἀμφοτέρω παρεῖναι.
