Using LSTMs to Assess the Obligatoriness of Phonological Distinctive Features for Phonotactic Learning

no code implementations ACL 2019 Nicole Mirea, Klinton Bicknell

To ascertain the importance of phonetic information in the form of phonological distinctive features for the purpose of segment-level phonotactic acquisition, we compare the performance of two recurrent neural network models of phonotactic learning: one that has access to distinctive features at the start of the learning process, and one that does not.
