# A Computational Evaluation of Syllabic Hypotheses for Rongorongo: Evidence from N-gram Analysis

Evgeniya Korovina, 2026. _Proceedings of the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference_.

Tests whether rongorongo could be a one-symbol-one-syllable substitution, using a genetic algorithm scored on Rapa Nui n-gram statistics, with a noise threshold fixed on controlled texts before the real transliterations were scored.

## What it's used for here

The emerging-methods survey calls it the best-designed recent evaluation of a decipherment hypothesis and the closest example of setting a threshold before scoring the real corpus.
