Disambiguating Numeral Sequences to Decipher Ancient Accounting Corpora

Logan Born, M. Willis Monroe, Kathryn Kelley et al., 2023. Proceedings of the Workshop on Computation and Written Language (CAWL 2023), ACL.

Enumerates every possible reading of each Proto-Elamite numeral notation (up to four systems per sign) and disambiguates them with document-structure rules and bootstrapped classifiers, with a test set; reports new correlations between tablet content and number size. Pages 71 to 81; arXiv 2502.00090.
