# Deciphering Undersegmented Ancient Scripts Using Phonetic Prior

Jiaming Luo, Frederik Hartmann, Enrico Santus et al., 2021. _Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics_.

Presents a decipherment model for scripts without reliable word division and with no known closest language, learning segmentation and cognate alignment together under phonetic constraints built from IPA-based character embeddings.
