• Abstract: Typological databases in linguistics are usually categorical-valued. As a result, it is difficult to have a clear visualization of the data. In this paper, we describe a workflow to analyze the topological shapes of South American languages by applying multiple correspondence analysis technique and topological data analysis methods.

  We propose an interpretable deep learning-based approach to morphological script type analysis. More precisely, we adapt a deep instance segmentation method to learn comparable character prototypes. We demonstrate our approach by applying it to the Textualis Formata script type and its two subtypes formalized by A. Derolez: Northern and Southern Textualis

  Kinyarwanda, a morphologically rich language, currently lacks tools for automated morphological analysis. We learn to morphologically disambiguate Kinyarwanda verbal forms from a new stemming dataset collected through crowd-sourcing. Our experiments reveal that inflectional properties of stems and morpheme association rules are the most discriminative features for disambiguation.

We then take advantage of our multi-view language vector space for multilingual machine translation, where we achieve competitive overall translation accuracy.
