Decipherment

We present a simple objective function that when optimized yields accurate solutions to both decipherment and cognate pair identifica- tion problems. The objective simultaneously scores a matching between two alphabets …...

Inspired by previous work, where decipher- ment is used to improve machine translation, we propose a new idea to combine word align- ment and decipherment into a single learning process. …...

We propose a novel approach to deciphering short monoalphabetic ciphers that combines both character-level and word-level language models. We formulate decipherment as tree search, and use Monte Carlo Tree Search …...

AbstractIn this paper we propose a novel neural approach for automatic decipherment of lost languages. To compensate for the lack of strong supervision signal, our model design is informed by …...

AbstractDecipherment of historical ciphers is a challenging problem. The language of the target plaintext might be unknown, and ciphertext can have a lot of noise. State-of-the-art decipherment methods use beam …...

AbstractSolving substitution ciphers involves mapping sequences of cipher symbols to fluent text in a target language. This has conventionally been formulated as a search problem, to find the decipherment key …...
