Combining Information-Weighted Sequence Alignment and Sound Correspondence Models for Improved Cognate Detection (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new approach to cognate detection is proposed to capture the remaining similarities between cognate word forms after thousands of years of divergence. |
| Approach: | They propose a method which uses information weighting and sound correspondence modeling to improve cognate detection. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves on the measure of form similarity and distance-based cognate clustering. |
