Abstract

This article presents a pipeline that converts collections of Tibetan documents in plain text or XML into a fully segmented and POS-tagged corpus. We apply the pipeline to the large extent collection of the Buddhist Digital Resource Center. The semi-supervised methods presented here not only result in a new and improved version of the largest annotated Tibetan corpus to date, the integration of rule-based, memory-based, and neural-network methods also serves as a good example of how to overcome challenges of under-researched languages. The end-to-end accuracy of our entire automatic pipeline of 91.99% is high enough to make the resulting corpus a useful resource for both linguists and scholars of Tibetan studies.
