# Normalized Georges 1913 |
|
|
|
## **Description** |
|
This dataset was created as part of the *Burchard's Dekret Digital* project ([www.burchards-dekret-digital.de](http://www.burchards-dekret-digital.de)), |
|
funded by the Academy of Sciences and Literature | Mainz. |
|
|
|
It is based on 55,000 lemmata from Karl Georges, Ausführliches lateinisch-deutsches Handwörterbuch, Hannover 1913 (Georges 1913) |
|
and was developed to train models for normalization tasks in the context of medieval Latin. |
|
|
|
The dataset consists of **approximately 5 million** word pairs of orthographic variants alongside their normalized forms. |
|
These word pairs were generated by introducing systematic orthographic transformations, such as: |
|
|
|
- **`v ↔ u` substitutions**: Interchanging `v` and `u`. |
|
- **`ii → ij` / `ii → ji` substitutions**: Modifying digraphs (`ii`) into alternative medieval forms (`ij`, `ji`). |
|
- **`ae → ę` replacements**: Replacing `ae` with `ę`. |
|
- **`ti → ci` substitutions**: Transforming `ti` into `ci`. |
|
- **`mn → mpn` modifications**: Expanding `mn` to `mpn`. |
|
- **`n → m` changes**: Replacing `n` with `m`. |
|
- **`y → i` replacements**: Substituting `y` with `i`. |
|
|
|
These transformations were designed to provide a dataset for text normalization of medieval Latin manuscript transcriptions. |
|
|
|
|
|
## **Dataset Structure** |
|
The dataset is formatted as **tab-separated pairs** where each line contains an orthographic variant followed by its normalized form, e.g.: |

|
## **Usecases** |
|
This dataset can be used for: |
|
|
|
- Training normalization models for medieval Latin texts. |
|
- Developing text restoration or correction tools for historical documents. |
|
- Applying normalization based on Georges 1913. |
|
|
|
|
|
## **Known limitations** |
|
The dataset has not been subjected to data augmentation and may contain substantial bias, particularly against irregular forms, such as Greek loanwords like "presbyter." |
|
|
|
## **Data Splits** |
|
The dataset consists of a single shuffled split of 5 million word pairs. |
|
Users can create their own train/validation/test splits depending on their use case. |
