Assessing Dutch Syllabification Algorithms and Improving Accuracy by Combining Phonetic and Orthographic Information through Deep Learning
arXiv:2605.28834v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Syllabification describes the task of dividing words into syllables. Due to many rules and exceptions, training an algorithm to perform syllabification with high accuracy remains a challenge. Throughout the last decades, different algorithms have been put forth for Dutch syllabification, yet a comprehensive comparative assessment has not been done. Additionally, deep learning has gained significant popularity within NLP in recent years, yet no modern deep-learning based framework has been developed for Dutch orthographic syllabification. Finall
