When Irregularity Helps: A Subclass Analysis of Inductive Bias in Neural Morphology

In three linesStudy on inductive biases in neural morphological generation. Analysis of Japanese past-tense verb inflection reveals a rare irregular subclass (<1% of data) accounts for disproportionate error concentration. Controlled ablations show removing this subclass improves generalization more than eliminating all irregular verbs.
