Title: Syllable-aware Neural Language Models: A Failure to Beat Character-aware Ones,
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.
