Syllabification of the Divine Comedy

We provide a syllabification algorithm for the Divine Comedy using techniques from probabilistic and constraint programming. particularly focus on synalephe , addressed in terms of "propensity" word to take part with adjacent words. jointly an online vocabulary containing, each word, information about its syllabification, location tonic accent, aforementioned propensity, left right sides. The is intrinsically nondeterministic, producing different possible syllabifications verse, likelihoods; metric constraints relative accents 10th, 4th, 6th syllables are used further reduce solution space. most likely hence returned as output. believe that this work could be major milestone lot investigations. From point view digital humanities it opens new perspectives computer-assisted analysis sources, comprising automated detection anomalous problematic cases, clustering verses their categorization, or more foundational investigations addressing, e.g., phonetic roles consonants vowels. text processing deep learning, wide range exciting perspectives, possibility automatic learning words improvement generative models, aware issues, respectful expected musicality.
