Hi, I would be happy to contribute data and insights that would help develop a tokenizer for Medieval/Premodern Slavic.
Currently I am using tokconfig-rus on this data, and there'd be room for improvement; e.g. sentences are either very short or very long, please see below for some examples.

Some of the data characteristics:

  • the character set of this data is nonstandard, incl. punctuation
  • sentence delimiters are typically nonstandard or nonexistent (· or are often used between words but are typically not true sentence delimiters)

There are no real gold standards of orthography in this period, and I guess also no very strong gold labeled data.
I looked into the Stanza and the UDPipe sentence splitters but they worked suboptimally.

Would you be interested in creating a premodern slavic config? Or would you suggest another approach?
