Neural Decipherment via Minimum-Cost Flow: from Ugaritic to Linear B
Researchers propose a novel neural approach for automatic decipherment of lost languages. To compensate for the lack of strong supervision signal, their model design is informed by patterns in language change documented in historical linguistics. The model utilizes an expressive sequence-to-sequence model to capture character-level correspondences between cognates.
