Using a neural net to uncover the common ancestor of 14 Bantu languages
📰 Medium · NLP
Learn how to apply neural networks to uncover the common ancestor of languages, a crucial task in historical linguistics
Action Steps
- Build a neural network model to encode language morphology
- Train the model on a dataset of modern Bantu languages
- Use the trained model to identify patterns and relationships between languages
- Apply phylogenetic analysis to reconstruct the common ancestor of the languages
- Test the model's performance using metrics such as accuracy and F1-score
