Neural Sequence-to-sequence Learning of Internal Word Structure
Learning internal word structure has recently been recognized as an important step in various multilingual processing tasks and in theoretical language comparison. In this paper, we present a neural encoder-decoder model for learning canonical morphological segmentation. Our model combines character-level sequence-to-sequence transformation with a language model over canonical segments. We obtain up to 4{\%} improvement over a strong character-level encoder-decoder baseline for three languages. Our model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art for two languages, while eliminating the need for external resources such as large dictionaries. Finally, by comparing the performance of encoder-decoder and classical statistical machine translation systems trained with and without corpus counts, we show that including corpus counts is beneficial to both approaches.

Constrained Sequence-to-sequence Semitic Root Extraction for Enriching Word Embeddings
In this paper, we tackle the problem of {``}root extraction{''} from words in the Semitic language family. A challenge in applying natural language processing techniques to these languages is the data sparsity problem th…
