في هذه الورقة، نتعلم مشكلة التمييز تلقائيا بين الكلمات اللاتينية الموروثة والمتوسطة. نقدم مجموعة بيانات جديدة والتحقيق في حالة لغات الرومانسية (الرومانية والإيطالية والفرنسية والإسبانية والبرتغالية والكانتالينية)، حيث تورث الكلمات مباشرة من التعايش اللاتيني مع الكلمات المقترضة من اللاتينية، واستكشاف ما إذا كان من الممكن التمييز التلقائي بينهما. بعد أن دخلت اللغة في مرحلة لاحقة، لم تعد الكلمات المستعارة تخضع لقواعد تحول الصوت التاريخية، وبالتالي فهي من المفترض أنها أقل تآكل، وهذا هو السبب في أننا نتوقع منهم أن يكون لهم هيكل جوهري مختلف بوسائل حسابية. نحن نوظف العديد من نماذج التعلم الآلي للتمييز تلقائيا بين الكلمات الموروثة والمتعرضة ومقارنة أدائها مع مجموعات ميزة مختلفة. نقوم بتحليل القوة التنبؤية النماذج على نسختين من مجموعات البيانات والأكبر والفيديو. نحن أيضا التحقيق في ما إذا كانت المعرفة المسبقة بالمخلفات توفر نتائج أفضل، وتستخدم ميزات حرف N-Gram المستخرجة من أزواج Word-Entymon ومن محاذاةها.
In this paper, we address the problem of automatically discriminating between inherited and borrowed Latin words. We introduce a new dataset and investigate the case of Romance languages (Romanian, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Catalan), where words directly inherited from Latin coexist with words borrowed from Latin, and explore whether automatic discrimination between them is possible. Having entered the language at a later stage, borrowed words are no longer subject to historical sound shift rules, hence they are presumably less eroded, which is why we expect them to have a different intrinsic structure distinguishable by computational means. We employ several machine learning models to automatically discriminate between inherited and borrowed words and compare their performance with various feature sets. We analyze the models' predictive power on two versions of the datasets, orthographic and phonetic. We also investigate whether prior knowledge of the etymon provides better results, employing n-gram character features extracted from the word-etymon pairs and from their alignment.

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models have been observed to produce poor translations when there are few/no parallel sentences to train the models. In the absence of parallel data, several approaches have turned to the use of images to learn transl
ations. Since images of words, e.g., horse may be unchanged across languages, translations can be identified via images associated with words in different languages that have a high degree of visual similarity. However, translating via images has been shown to improve upon text-only models only marginally. To better understand when images are useful for translation, we study image translatability of words, which we define as the translatability of words via images, by measuring intra- and inter-cluster similarities of image representations of words that are translations of each other. We find that images of words are not always invariant across languages, and that language pairs with shared culture, meaning having either a common language family, ethnicity or religion, have improved image translatability (i.e., have more similar images for similar words) compared to its converse, regardless of their geographic proximity. In addition, in line with previous works that show images help more in translating concrete words, we found that concrete words have improved image translatability compared to abstract ones.
This work proposes an extensive analysis of the Transformer architecture in the Neural Machine Translation (NMT) setting. Focusing on the encoder-decoder attention mechanism, we prove that attention weights systematically make alignment errors by rel
ying mainly on uninformative tokens from the source sequence. However, we observe that NMT models assign attention to these tokens to regulate the contribution in the prediction of the two contexts, the source and the prefix of the target sequence. We provide evidence about the influence of wrong alignments on the model behavior, demonstrating that the encoder-decoder attention mechanism is well suited as an interpretability method for NMT. Finally, based on our analysis, we propose methods that largely reduce the word alignment error rate compared to standard induced alignments from attention weights.
Semantic divergence in related languages is a key concern of historical linguistics. We cross-linguistically investigate the semantic divergence of cognate pairs in English and Romance languages, by means of word embeddings. To this end, we introduce
a new curated dataset of cognates in all pairs of those languages. We describe the types of errors that occurred during the automated cognate identification process and manually correct them. Additionally, we label the English cognates according to their etymology, separating them into two groups: old borrowings and recent borrowings. On this curated dataset, we analyse word properties such as frequency and polysemy, and the distribution of similarity scores between cognate sets in different languages. We automatically identify different clusters of English cognates, setting a new direction of research in cognates, borrowings and possibly false friends analysis in related languages.
