  abstract  = {In this paper, we present phoneme level Siamese convolutional networks for the
	task of pair-wise cognate identification. We represent a word as a
	two-dimensional matrix and employ a siamese convolutional network for learning
	deep representations. We present siamese architectures that jointly learn
	phoneme level feature representations and language relatedness from raw words
	for cognate identification. Compared to previous works, we train and test on
	larger and realistic datasets; and, show that siamese architectures
	consistently perform better than traditional linear classifier approach.},
