Siamese convolutional networks based on phonetic features for cognate identification
In this paper, we explore the use of convolutional networks (ConvNets) for the purpose of cognate identification. We compare our architecture with binary classifiers based on string similarity measures on different language families. Our experiments show that convolutional networks achieve competitive results across concepts and across language families at the task of cognate identification.

Siamese Convolutional Networks for Cognate Identification
In this paper, we present phoneme level Siamese convolutional networks for the task of pair-wise cognate identification. We represent a word as a two-dimensional matrix and employ a siamese convolutional network for lear…
Using support vector machines and state-of-the-art algorithms for phonetic alignment to identify cognates in multi-lingual wordlists
Most current approaches in phylogenetic linguistics require as input multilingual word lists partitioned into sets of etymologically related words (cognates). Cognate identification is so far done manually by experts, wh…
Cross-Family Similarity Learning for Cognate Identification in Low-Resource Languages
We address the problem of cognate identification across vocabulary pairs of any set of languages. In particular, we focus on the case where the examined pair of languages are low-resource to the extent that no training d…
Phonetic, Semantic, and Articulatory Features in Assamese-Bengali Cognate Detection
In this paper, we propose a method to detect if words in two similar languages, Assamese and Bengali, are cognates. We mix phonetic, semantic, and articulatory features and use the cognate detection task to analyze the r…
Gap-weighted subsequences for automatic cognate identification and phylogenetic inference
In this paper, we describe the problem of cognate identification and its relation to phylogenetic inference. We introduce subsequence based features for discriminating cognates from non-cognates. We show that subsequence…
