Automated Topic Analysis of the Voynich Manuscript

[quimqu]

Let's check one of the folio where the detected language is not the Currier language indicated, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has 10 "edy" in its second paragraph, none in the first, what is the detected Currier language of the 2nd paragraph in isolation?

What about You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ? It has 5 "edy" in its second paragraph, none in the first so there seems to be a transition from A to B there too.

Hello nablator,

yes, this is something that the model (trained at paragraph level) detects. These are the two paragraphs of f57r 
   
   
You can see that the whole page was classified as language B, but first paragraph is clearly language A (according to the model) and second paragraph is clearly language B.

For You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. the transition that you mention is not detected by the language, as both paragraphs are detected as language A:
   
   
For the model it is not a simple matter of endings. Look at paragraph 2: chedy, dshedy are labelled as language B. But other "edy" words as sheody, okeody, chokeody, schkhdy are labelled as language A, and the punctuation for language A is 3 times the punctuation for language B, so it is labelled as language A, as the first paragraph is.

Note that the models for paragraphs and for folios are different (one is trained with paragraphs and the other with entire folios) and some words may vary from topic between both models.
