Dear Oliver,

As a retiree of - already - some seniority, I have difficulty in ingesting phraseological solids, such as <<neural networks digesting all kinds of linguistic features and making temporal predictions based on them>>.

Could you please explain what hides behind these scholarly terms?

Regards,

Artur

Dear all,

just a short PS for the Mbh stratification thread (Andrew, Joydeep and others): A follow-up paper to appear in 2019 (neural networks digesting all kinds of linguistic features and making temporal predictions based on them) seems to suggest that we can distinguish temporal strata in the Mbh. A detail study of the Bhishmaparvan produces results that are not too far away from some outcomes of philological research:
* BhG + the introductory chapters of Book 6: first few centuries CE (rather 200 CE++)
* Battle passages quite constantly placed in the centuries BCE

Best, Oliver
