CoToHiLi at SIGTYP 2023: Ensemble Models for Cognate and Derivative Words Detection

AbstractThe identification of cognates and derivatives is a fundamental process in historical linguistics, on which any further research is based. In this paper we present our contribution to the SIGTYP 2023 Shared Task on cognate and derivative detection. We propose a multi-lingual solution based on features extracted from the alignment of the orthographic and phonetic representations of the words.
