CORPUS17: a philological French corpus for 17thcentury

We investigate the creation of a 17th c. French literary corpus. We present the main options regarding available standards, the training data we created and the efficiency of the models produced for OCR, spelling normalization, and lemmatization – always with open-source solutions. We also present our encoding choices and the global logic of a corpus designed as a virtuous circle, enhancing automatically the tools that are used for its construction.
