It is not all downhill from here: Syllable Contact Law in Persian
Syllable contact pairs crosslinguistically tend to have a falling sonority slope a constraint which is called the Syllable Contact Law SCL In this study the phonotactics of syllable contacts in 4202 CVCCVC words of Persian lexicon is investigated The consonants of Persian were divided into five sonority categories and the frequency of all possible sonority slopes is computed both in lexicon type frequency and in corpus token frequency Since an unmarked phonological structure has been shown to diachronically become more frequent we expect to see the same pattern for syllable contact pairs with falling sonority slope The correlation of sonority categories of the two consonants in a syllable contact pair is measured using Pointwise Mutual Information

Melody Construction for Persian lyrics using LSTM recurrent neural networks
The present paper investigated automatic melody construction for Persian lyrics as an input. It was assumed that there is a phonological correlation between the lyric syllables and the melody in a song. A seq2seq neural …
A Computational Approach to Language Contact -- A Case Study of Persian
We investigate structural traces of language contact in the intermediate representations of a monolingual language model. Focusing on Persian (Farsi) as a historically contact-rich language, we probe the representations …
Effect of switching time scale of receptor activity on chemotactic performance of Escherichia coli
In the chemotactic motion of Escherichia coli, the switching of transmembrane chemoreceptors between active and inactive states is one of the most important steps of the signaling pathway. We study the effect of this swi…
Structure-based prediction of protein-folding transition paths
We propose a general theory to describe the distribution of protein-folding transition paths. We show that transition paths follow a predictable sequence of high-free-energy transient states that are separated by free-en…
