Cognate Projection for Low-Resource Inflection Generation

Bradley Hauer, Amir Ahmad Habibi, Yixing Luan, Rashed Rubby Riyadh, Grzegorz Kondrak


Abstract
We propose cognate projection as a method of crosslingual transfer for inflection generation in the context of the SIGMORPHON 2019 Shared Task. The results on four language pairs show the method is effective when no low-resource training data is available.
