Phoneme- and Word-Level Metrics Using Self-Supervised Speech Representations for Forced Alignment Evaluation

V. S. D. S. Mahesh Akavarapu, Michael Daniel, Gerhard Jäger

Forced alignment evaluation typically requires manually annotated timestamps, limiting large-scale and multilingual analysis. We introduce two corpus-level metrics based on self-su…

Beyond cognacy

Gerhard Jäger

Computational phylogenetics has become an established tool in historical linguistics, with many language families now analyzed using likelihood-based inference. However, standard a…

Computational Approaches for Integrating out Subjectivity in Cognate Synonym Selection

Luise Häuser, Gerhard Jäger, Alexandros Stamatakis

Working with cognate data involves handling synonyms, that is, multiple words that describe the same concept in a language. In the early days of language phylogenetics it was recom…

Admissible extensions of subtheories of second order arithmetic

Gerhard Jäger, Michael Rathjen

In this paper we study admissible extensions of several theories T of reverse mathematics. The idea is that in such an extension the structure M = (N,S,\in) of the natural numbers…

Phylogenetic typology

Gerhard Jäger, Johannes Wahle

In this article we propose a novel method to estimate the frequency distribution of linguistic variables while controlling for statistical non-independence due to shared ancestry.…

Computational Historical Linguistics

Gerhard Jäger

Computational approaches to historical linguistics have been proposed since half a century. Within the last decade, this line of research has received a major boost, owing both to…
