Learning Nonlocal Phonotactics in a Strictly Piecewise Probabilistic Phonotactic Model

Proceedings of the Annual Meetings on Phonology, 2021
Phonotactic learning is a crucial aspect of phonological acquisition and has figured significantly in computational research in phonology (Prince & Tesar 2004). However, one persistent challenge for this line of research is inducing non-local co-occurrence patterns (Hayes & Wilson 2008).

The relations between phonotactics and speech rhythm in Czech

Acta Universitatis Carolinae: Philologica, 2019
The main objective of this study is to explore the relationships between the phonotactic structure of the Czech stress-group and rhythm of speech. Three most frequent consonantal-vocalic (CV) structures of Czech two-syllable stress-groups were selected ...

Learning Phonotactics Using ILP

, 2002
This paper describes experiments on learning Dutch phonotactic rules using Inductive Logic Programming, a machine learning discipline based on inductive logical operators. Two different ways of approaching the problem are experimented with, and compared against each other as well as with related work on the task.
