• Abstract: Inline notes and collected commentaries are important forms of scholarly communication that evolved within the Confucian exegetical tradition, yet have received little computational attention. Drawing on traditional Chinese exegetics and philology, this paper formulates collected commentary compilation as an NLP task and proposes a computational framework that preserves the contextual dependency of inline notes while enabling their automatic compilation and exegetical knowledge organization. It combines two-step prompt chaining for identifying the associated main-text segments and exegetical functions of annotations with cross-source mention clustering for integrating commentary across editions, achieving a CoNLL F1 score above 97% in a case study on the Classic of Mountains. Our framework lays the foundation for the large-scale organization of historical exegetical knowledge, thereby supporting a broad range of downstream philological and NLP tasks.

  We propose a framework for ancient Chinese Word and Part-of-Speech Tagging. On the one hand, we try to capture the wordhood semantics; on the other hand, we re-predict the uncertain samples of baseline model. The performance of our architecture outperforms pre-trained BERT with CRF and existing tools such as Jiayan.

  paragraph-level topic structure can grasp and understand the overall context of a document from a higher level. The lack of large-scale, high-quality Chinese paragraph-level topic structure corpora restrained research and applications. We propose a hierarchical paragraph-level topic structure representation with three layers to guide the corpus construction. We employ a two-stage man-machine collaborative annotation method to construct the largest Chinese paragraph-level Topic Structure corpus.
