R Lee, P Jonathan, P Ziman
Computational Linguistics, 2010•aclanthology.orgIn his article “Ancient symbols and computational linguistics”(Sproat 2010), Professor Sproat
raised two concerns over a method that we have proposed for analyzing small data sets of
symbols using entropy (Lee, Jonathan, and Ziman 2010): first, that the method is unable to
detect random but non-equiprobable systems; and second, that it misclassifies kudurru texts.
We address these concerns in the following response.
