A Statistical Model for Lost Language Decipherment
Benjamin Snyder, Regina Barzilay, Kevin Knight, 2010. Proceedings of the 48th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics.
Builds a statistical model that deciphers a lost language by matching it to a known related language, tested on Ugaritic against Hebrew.
What it's used for here
The cryptanalysis survey describes it as an unknown-script method; the inductive-methods survey ranks it low because it assumes a near one-to-one character map.
