Trained and tested from Linguistic textbooks in languages. Some surprises in learning cross languages.
AI Can Learn the Patterns of Human Languages
In MIT News By Adam Zewe, August 30, 2022
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, and McGill University developed an artificial intelligence model that can learn the rules and patterns of human languages automatically, without specific human guidance. The model was trained and tested on problems from linguistic textbooks in 58 different languages that involved word-form changes. The researchers observed that the model could determine a correct set of rules to describe the word-form changes for 60% of the problems. Said Cornell's Kevin Ellis, "One of the things that was most surprising is that we could learn across languages, but it didn't seem to make a huge difference. That suggests two things. Maybe we need better methods for learning across problems. And maybe, if we can't come up with those methods, this work can help us probe different ideas we have about what knowledge to share across problems." ...
