| Challenge: | Pluralization of nouns is a challenge for the Bantu language family . results show that the language's definition of noune classes is inadequate for computational purposes due to non-determinism in prefixes. |
| Approach: | They investigated the approach to pluralization in isiZulu and Runyankore for seven languages across three different Guthrie language zones. |
| Outcome: | The results show that the proposed pluralizers achieved over 93% accuracy and 94% accuracy on a random sample. |

Number Theory Meets Linguistics: Modelling Noun Pluralisation Across 1497 Languages Using 2-adic Metrics (2022.aacl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing evidence to support p-adic neighbourhoods in languages is lacking . pmetrics are based on prime numbers and have infinitesimals to support calculus and triangle inequality to support geometry. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a linear regression problem to model pluralisation as a p-adic metric. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms Euclidean-space regressors on languages in Indo-European, Austronesian, Trans New-Guinea, Sino-Tibetan, Nilo-Saharan, Oto-Meanguean and Atlantic-Congo families. |
MoNoise: A Multi-lingual and Easy-to-use Lexical Normalization Tool (P19-3)

| Challenge: | In this paper, we demonstrate the online demo and command line interface of a lexical normalization system (MoNoise) for a variety of languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to bundle seven datasets in six languages to form a new benchmark and a novel evaluation metric which is particularly suitable for cross-dataset comparisons. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on the original word and features from the original language for each normalization candidate. |
