This study assesses the ability of machine learning to classify verses from Buddhist texts into two categories: Therigatha and Theragatha, attributed to female and male authors, respectively. It highlights the difficulties in data preprocessing and the use of Transformer-based models on Devanagari script due to limited vocabulary, demonstrating that simple statistical models can be equally effective. The research suggests areas for future exploration, provides the dataset for further study, and acknowledges existing limitations and challenges.
