Below we report details of each text included as training data for OldSlavNet. This is to provide users who wish to replicate or improve our results with a transparent dataset breakdown.
If you are not satisfied with OldSlavNet’s parsing performance on your particular texts, you are very welcome to send us any suggestions (here) on how we might improve it, particularly on the basis of expert evaluation of the data themselves (e.g. distribution and representativeness of different pre-modern Slavic varieties and Church Slavonic recensions). Alternative, you may want to train your own model!
The following are all the texts used as training data, their language variety, and number of tokens. The proposed language classification is by no means definitive, since several texts present mixed regional features and are contained in much later manuscripts than the varieties they represent as a whole.
