| Challenge: | Historical linguists have written programs that convert reconstructed words into their attested descendants via ordered string rewrite functions. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a model to generate a "similar distribution" for sound law induction . they propose four kinds of methods with varying amounts of inductive bias to investigate best performance . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows that it can be fine tuned with training data and evaluation data. |
