The mathematical values of fraction signs in the Linear A script: A computational, statistical and typological approach
TL;DR: The results show a remarkable convergence and point towards a systematic assignment of mathematical values for the Linear A fraction signs and set the agenda for a combinatorial, novel, and unbiased approach that may help advance the comprehension of some standing issues related to ancient undeciphered writing systems.
Myths about Writing Systems in Speech & Language Technology
Kyle Gorman,Richard Sproat +1 more
TL;DR: The authors highlight the conflation of language and writing, and the notion that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing is ideographic and suggest how the community can dispel these myths and how to dispel them.
Hindi to English Machine Transliteration of Named Entities using Conditional Random Fields
TL;DR: This paper focuses on Hindi to English machine transliteration of Indian named entities such as proper nouns, place names and organization names using conditional random fields (CRF).
Writing: the re-construction of language
TL;DR: This paper argued that the facticity of these constructs is artefactual and that that facticity is achieved by way of the introjection of ideal objects which the mind constructs as denotations of elements of an alphabetic writing system.
Some Considerations about the Kohau Rongorongo Script in the Light of a Statistical Analysis of the 'Santiago Staff'
TL;DR: The evidence encountered so far supports the view that the hypothesis cannot be true for all the KRR text of the ‘SS,’ specifically for sequences other than the “XıYZ” type, leaving many doubts in the minds of epigraphers and suggesting flaws in the method of decipherment.

The Sound Pattern of English
Noam Chomsky,Morris Halle +1 more
- 01 Jan 1968
TL;DR: Since this classic work in phonology was published in 1968, there has been no other book that gives as broad a view of the subject, combining generally applicable theoretical contributions with analysis of the details of a single language.
Word association norms, mutual information, and lexicography
Kenneth Church,Patrick Hanks +1 more
TL;DR: The proposed measure, the association ratio, estimates word association norms directly from computer readable corpora, making it possible to estimate norms for tens of thousands of words.

A Distributed, Developmental Model of Word Recognition and Naming.
TL;DR: A parallel distributed processing model of visual word recognition and pronunciation is described, which consists of sets of orthographic and phonological units and an interlevel of hidden units and which early in the learning phase corresponds to that of children acquiring word recognition skills.
