| description | For centuries, scholars have explored the deep
links among human languages. In this paper,
we present a class of probabilistic models
that use these links as a form of naturally
occurring supervision. These models allow
us to substantially improve performance for
core text processing tasks, such as morphological
segmentation, part-of-speech tagging,
and syntactic parsing. Besides these traditional
NLP tasks, we also present a multilingual
model for the computational decipherment
of lost languages. |
