LLMs in Ottoman Turkish: From MLM to NER
This paper introduces three foundational contributions to Digital Ottoman Turkish Studies. It presents: (1) three masked language models (MLMs) trained on over 11 million words from 144 works spanning from the 15th to 20th century, (2) a state-of-the-art Named Entity Recognition (NER) model (F1 = 89.94%) trained on 9,960 manually annotated entities, and (3) a state-of-the-art Universal Dependency (UD) parsing model for Ottoman Turkish. This work differs from others by deploying IJMES-transliterated documents for training and evaluation in order to prevent loss of information due to the change of the script from Perso-Arabic to Latin. The paper further explores probabilistic manuscript reconstruction in preliminary experiments, showing that MLMs can recover unread sections in historical documents with 77.8% top-1 accuracy when a list of candidate words is provided. Followed by a discussion, the paper outlines the future directions as building century‐aware MLMs and expanding the training data across genres to enhance model generalization.
