ASP for Language Documentation and Reclamation: A Derivational Stemming Tool for Myaamia

Watch this 29-minute conference talk from the 27th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL'25) exploring how Answer Set Programming (ASP) is applied to Language Documentation and Reclamation for the Myaamia language. Presented by researchers from Miami University and the Myaamia Center, the talk details the development of a derivational stemming tool that decomposes Myaamia language stems into their smallest meaningful morphemes. Learn about the different solvers and representations tested to identify efficient approaches for language documentation tasks, how the tool's accuracy was validated against the ILDA database, and how this work with a reawakening Algonquian language can serve as a model for similar tools for other endangered languages. This presentation is part of ACM SIGPLAN's POPL 2025 conference.
