Non-parametric Bayesian areal linguistics [PDF]
Proceedings of Human Language Technologies: The 2009 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics on - NAACL '09, 2009 We describe a statistical model over linguistic areas and phylogeny. Our model recovers known areas and identifies a plausible hierarchy of areal features. The use of areas improves genetic reconstruction of languages both qualitatively and quantitatively according to a variety of metrics.

Non-parametric manifold learning
Electronic Journal of StatisticsWe introduce an estimator for distances in a compact Riemannian manifold based on graph Laplacian estimates of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. We upper bound the error in the estimate of manifold distances, or more precisely an estimate of a spectrally truncated variant of manifold distance of interest in non-commutative geometry (cf.
