Creating synopses of ‘parallel’ historical manuscripts and early prints. Alignment guidelines, evaluation, and applications
- In this paper we introduce the task of aligning parallel historical texts, to create synopses for comparing similarities and deviations between them. We present guidelines for manually annotating corresponding words and phrases. A test annotation reveals that there is considerable high inter-annotator agreement, ranging from kappa = 0.76 to 0.98, depending on the specific text. In an application scenario we show a typical use case for which token and phrase alignments are of value.
