As an alternative, machine learning models have been proposed to generate inflections from root forms as string transduction (Yarowsky and Wicentowski, 2000;Wicentowski, 2004;Dreyer and Eisner, 2011;Durrett and DeNero, 2013;Ahlberg et al., 2014;Hulden, 2014;Ahlberg et al., 2015;Nicolai et al., 2015).
these impose either assumptions about the set of possible morphological processes inflection generation kalb kälber case=nominative number=plural (e.g.
