• Abstract: Language development researchers are interested in comparing the process of language learning across languages. Unfortunately, it has been difficult to construct a consistent quantitative framework for such comparisons. However, recent advances in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) are providing new methods for ASR (automatic speech recognition) and NLP (natural language processing) that can be brought to bear on this problem. Using the Batchalign2 program (Liu et al., 2023), we have been transcribing and linking data for the CHILDES database and have applied the UD (Universal Dependencies) framework to provide a consistent and comparable morphosyntactic analysis for 27 languages. These new resources open possibilities for deeper crosslinguistic study of language learning.

  Formal language theory pertains specifically to recognizers. It is common to instead use proxy tasks that are similar in only an informal sense. We correct this mismatch by training and evaluating neural networks directly as binary classifiers of strings.

  We propose two approaches to dependency parsing especially for languages with restricted amount of training data. Our first approach combines a state-of-the-art deep learning-based with a rule-based approach and the second one incorporates morphological information into the network. The proposed methods are developed for Turkish, but can be adapted to other languages as well.

  We propose an improved recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T) model with language bias to alleviate the problem. We use the language identities to bias the model to predict the CS points. This promotes the model to learn the language identity information directly from transcription, and no additional LID model is needed.
