CLD² Language Documentation Meets Natural Language Processing for Revitalising Endangered Languages

no code implementations • ComputEL (ACL) 2022 • Roberto Zariquiey, Arturo Oncevay, Javier Vera

Language revitalisation should not be understood as a direct outcome of language documentation, which is mainly focused on the creation of language repositories.

Revisiting Syllables in Language Modelling and their Application on Low-Resource Machine Translation

no code implementations • COLING 2022 • Arturo Oncevay, Kervy Dante Rivas Rojas, Liz Karen Chavez Sanchez, Roberto Zariquiey

Moreover, we study the importance of syllables on neural machine translation for a non-related and low-resource language-pair (Spanish--Shipibo-Konibo).
