iClassifier (©Goldwasser,Harel,Nikolaev) is an open-source and collaborative research platform for analyzing and visualizing classifier systems in ancient scripts. It provides a toolset to annotate, compare, and explore classifiers (aka determinatives) within an extensive text corpus, enabling researchers to move beyond static word lists toward dynamic, network-based representations of ancient lexicons. By aligning philological precision with computational methods, users access the system in its contexts of use, and browse through categories and concepts across time and genres.

The platform offers both an accessible web interface for interactive exploration and a backend for advanced linguistic and philological analysis. Users can generate classifier lists, track diachronic change, and visualize co-occurrence patterns as networks. Designed for collaboration, iClassifier integrates with major linguistic corpora and databases, making it a versatile tool for Egyptologists, Assyriologists, Sinologists, Linguists and other scholars who seek to investigate language structure in context. Our research explores what categories humans share across cultures and what categories are unique, applying a typological approach.
