A POS Tier Is the Key to Automated Annotation for Low-Resource Language Documentation: Neural Interlinear Glossing for Irabu, a Southern Ryukyuan Language

This work implements a full neural annotation pipeline (morpheme segmentation, POS tagging, glossing) for Irabu Ryukyuan using deliberately small, transparent BiLSTM-CRF models, and concludes with a concrete recommendation for documentation practice: annotate quadrilinearly - text, POS, gloss, translation.
