Harnessing Cross-lingual Features to Improve Cognate Detection for Low-resource Languages
2020
Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics
unpublished
Cognates are variants of the same lexical form across different languages; for example "fonema" in Spanish and "phoneme" in English are cognates, both of which mean "a unit of sound". The task of automatic detection of cognates among any two languages can help downstream NLP tasks such as Cross-lingual Information Retrieval, Computational Phylogenetics, and Machine Translation. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of cross-lingual word embeddings for detecting cognates among fourteen Indian
