Comparing Fifty Natural Languages and Twelve Genetic Languages Using Word Embedding Language Divergence (WELD) as a Quantitative Measure of Language Distance [PDF]
We introduce a new measure of distance between languages based on word embedding, called word embedding language divergence (WELD). WELD is defined as divergence between unified similarity distribution of words between languages. Using such a measure, we perform language comparison for fifty natural languages and twelve genetic languages.

Continuous multilinguality with language vectors [PDF]
Most existing models for multilingual natural language processing (NLP) treat language as a discrete category, and make predictions for either one language or the other. In contrast, we propose using continuous vector representations of language. We show that these can be learned efficiently with a character-based neural language model, and used to ...

Asymptotic Approximation by Regular Languages [PDF]
This paper investigates a new property of formal languages called REG-measurability where REG is the class of regular languages. Intuitively, a language \(L\) is REG-measurable if there exists an infinite sequence of regular languages that "converges" to \(L\).

Issues of comparative Uralic and Altaic Studies (3) : The Turkic plural in *-s [PDF]
Apart from the Common Turkic plural marker *-lAr, the Turkic languages, including Chuvash, show traces of an older plural marker that may be reconstructed as *-s, represented as (*)-z in Common Turkic and as (*)-r in Bulghar Turkic.

The Dissecting Power of Regular Languages [PDF]
A recent study on structural properties of regular and context-free languages has greatly promoted our basic understandings of the complex behaviors of those languages. We continue the study to examine how regular languages behave when they need to cut numerous infinite languages.

Rediscovering the Slavic Continuum in Representations Emerging from Neural Models of Spoken Language Identification [PDF]
Deep neural networks have been employed for various spoken language recognition tasks, including tasks that are multilingual by definition such as spoken language identification. In this paper, we present a neural model for Slavic language identification in speech signals and analyze its emergent representations to investigate whether they reflect ...

On the Evolution of Programming Languages [PDF]
This paper attempts to connects the evolution of computer languages with the evolution of life, where the later has been dictated by \emph{theory of evolution of species}, and tries to give supportive evidence that the new languages are more robust than the previous, carry-over the mixed features of older languages, such that strong features gets added
