Neural Unsupervised Reconstruction of Protolanguage Word Forms (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for reconstructing ancient word forms use expectation-maximization . past work has used this method to predict simple phonological changes . |
| Approach: | They extend expectation-maximization to predict phonological changes between ancient word forms and their cognates in modern languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model reduces edit distance from the target word forms compared to previous methods. |
