A Survey of Text-Based DH Projects in Tibetan Studies

Impacts, Methods, and Potential for Collaboration

Comparative Literature
Natural Language Processing
Text Analysis
Colorful, intricate artwork depicting a multi-armed, multi-tiered human-like figure composed of layered architectural forms, flames, and flowing elements, overlaid with a grid of geometric blocks and fragments of text.

This project will aim to produce an overview of the current diffuse projects to digitize, catalog, and create text-based analytic software for Tibetan language text, and based on my overview of the field more generally, identify key areas where new tools might be developed in conversation with current advancements in natural language processing and text-recognition software.
