Zásady pro vypracování

Word formation data resources harmonized for multiple natural languages were almost non-existent until very recently ([1],[2]), which was a limiting factor for developing models whose validity would be empirically testable in a multilingual setting. The aim of the thesis is to develop, implement, and evaluate word formation models that make use of modern distributional vector space word representations (word embedding models), with a special focus on derivational morphology ([3]) and on multilingual aspects ([4]). Optionally, optimization criteria used in the models can be interpreted in terms of Information Theory, and might reflect hierarchical interactions in a language’s vocabulary, biological and cognitive biases relevant for natural languages, as well as language evolution perspectives.
