Title: Basic syntax from speech: Spontaneous concatenation in unsupervised deep neural networks

Abstract:
arXiv:2305.01626v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Computational models of syntax are predominantly text-based. Here we propose that the most basic first step in the evolution of syntax can be modeled directly from raw speech in a fully unsupervised way. We focus on one of the most ubiquitous and elementary suboperations of syntax -- concatenation. We introduce \textit{spontaneous concatenation}: a phenomenon where a ciwGAN/fiwGAN models (based on convolutional neural networks) trained on
