MoxhiMT Pronoun Classifier (speaker attribution)

• Task: given 3 sentences of context + the current line + a candidate name, score whether that candidate is the speaker (listwise softmax over candidates).
• Arch: 2-layer Transformer encoder, d=256, ~7.8M params. Tokenizer = MoxhiMT source SentencePiece (24k ZH).
• Candidates: dictionary lookup over 347 known character names (longest-match)
  • 旁白 (narration) / 自语 (soliloquy).
• Speed: ~3 ms/sentence (CPU), ~3% overhead on top of MT decode.

Why

Honest scope

• Speaker accuracy ~50% on a multi-genre validation set (10× a regex baseline), even across genres (modern 63%). PoC, not production.
• Trained on ~3.8k lines labeled by DeepSeek-V4-Flash + external agents + manual.
• Best on genres present in the training pool; new novels (new names) degrade.
• The renderer is intentionally conservative: it skips xianxia, skips plural 我们/咱们/你们, multi-你 quotes, and raw Vietnamese quote pairs like ta/ngươi when it cannot rewrite the whole pair. It only rewrites self/you when the matching Chinese pronoun is present, protects fixed Vietnamese phrases, and caps edits per quote segment.
• Direct family address such as 妈，...你... / 儿子，...你... is an exception: the addressee is explicit, so multiple Vietnamese second-person pronouns in the same quoted segment may be normalized together.
• render(...) returns an info string with guard status plus speaker score metadata (p, margin, candidate count) so downstream apps can surface abstentions instead of silently over-editing.
