Are Automatic Methods for Cognate Detection Good Enough for Phylogenetic Reconstruction in Historical Linguistics? (N18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Phylogenetic trees are hypotheses of how sets of related languages evolved in time. |
| Approach: | They compare the performance of automatic cognate detection algorithms to classical manually annotated cognate sets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods perform better than classically annotated cognate sets . future work on phylogenetic reconstruction can profit from the results . |
