Neural Decipherment via Minimum-Cost Flow: From Ugaritic to Linear B

Jiaming Luo, Yuan Cao, Regina Barzilay, 2019. Proceedings of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

A neural model for deciphering lost languages, guided by patterns of historical sound change and trained by casting cognate matching as a minimum-cost flow problem; tested on Ugaritic and Linear B.
