Understanding Tieq Viet with Deep Learning Models
share
Deep learning is a powerful approach in recovering lost information as well as harder inverse function computation problems. When applied in natural language processing, this approach is essentially making use of context as a mean to recover information through likelihood maximization. Not long ago, a linguistic study called Tieq Viet was controversial among both researchers and society. We find this a great example to demonstrate the ability of deep learning models to recover lost information. In the proposal of Tieq Viet, some consonants in the standard Vietnamese are replaced. A sentence written in this proposal can be interpreted into multiple sentences in the standard version, with different meanings. The hypothesis that we want to test is whether a deep learning model can recover the lost information if we translate the text from Vietnamese to Tieq Viet.
