Abstract

Syllabification does not seem to improve word-level RNN language modeling quality when compared to character-based segmentation. However, our best syllable-aware language model, achieving performance comparable to the competitive character-aware model, has 18%–33% fewer parameters and is trained 1.2–2.2 times faster.
