I was confused at first. They wrote, "In this paper we present a new method for automatic transliteration and segmentation of Unicode cuneiform glyphs using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques". So my reaction was, "huh, why did they need to do any segmentation and transliteration with Unicode?". Turns out, they were doing segmentation and then transliteration from the image of cuneiform tablets to Unicode (cuneiform) glyphs/characters.
Basically an OCR for cuneiform :)
- singularity2001 2y agothis is not what they did. They took unicode and separated it into words. Which seems silly since the online archives are already separated but I guess it's useful for new texts where the word boundaries are not clear
