On the Computational Modelling of Michif Verbal Morphology (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing computational models of the verbal morphology of the Métis language are insufficient to model the language's unique phonological interactions. |
| Approach: | They propose a finite-state computational model of the verbal morphology of Michif . they use composed finite state transducers to model concatenative morphologies . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on a series of finite-state transducers. |

| Outcome: | The proposed software will help Indigenous communities preserve and revitalize their languages and extend their use. |
Gramble: A Tabular Programming Language for Collaborative Linguistic Modeling (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new programming language for linguistic parsing and generation is available for free . a cross-platform interpreter is available on the web via google sheets . |
| Approach: | a new Gramble programming language is being developed for linguistic parsing and generation . the language is a domain-specific programming language that supports live group programming . a cross-platform interpreter is available for Windows, MacOS, and UNIX . |
| Outcome: | a new programming language for linguistic parsing and generation is released under the MIT license . the language is based on handwritten declarative code rather than machine learning . |
