A Reproducibility Study on Quantifying Language Similarity: The Impact of Missing Values in the URIEL Knowledge Base (2024.naacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | URIEL aggregates linguistic information for 4,005 languages and computes distances based on this information. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a typological knowledge base to quantify language similarity to investigate URIEL's ambiguity in calculating language distances and handling missing values. |
| Outcome: | The URIEL knowledge base does not provide information about typological features for 31% of the languages it represents, undermining the reliability of the database, especially on low-resource languages. |
