Session outline

The goal of this session is to focus on Named Entity Recognition and Annotation for ancient Greek. After a general introduction about NER and available authority lists, the session will describe examples for extracting and annotating names of ancient Greek authors and titles/descriptions of ancient Greek works. Examples will be drawn from the Deipnosophists of Athenaeus of Naucratis and the Digital Athenaeus project.
