Armin Buch, David Erschler, Gerhard Jäger, Andrei Lupas

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

we discuss advantages of clustering approaches to automated language classification, describe distance measures used for this purpose, and present results of several proof-of-concept experiments. We advocate the use of probability based distances – those that take into account the distribution of relevant features across the language sample in questio
