Abstract:
Abstract. We report on experiments which demonstrate that by abductive inference it is possible to learn enough simple phonotactics to distinguish words from non-words for a simplied set of Dutch, the monosyllables. The monosyllables are distinguished in input so that segmentation is not problematic. Frequency information is withheld as is negative data. The methods are all tested using ten-fold cross-validation as well as a xed number of randomly generated strings. Orthographic and phonetic representations are compared. This paper is part of a larger project comparing dierent machine learning techniques on linguistic data. 1
