תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.05262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computational phylogenetics has become an essential tool in historical linguistics, yet its application at a global scale remains constrained by two factors: the labor-intensive manual annotation of cognacy judgments required for character-based methods and the substantial computational cost of inference on large datasets. This paper introduces a fully self-supervised contrastive learning framework that learns lexical representations directly from raw IPA-transcribed wordlists, without requiring cognacy annotations, alignments, or additional expert input. The model employs a dual contrastive objective: a word-level loss that organizes phonetically similar forms into a coherent space, and an auxiliary language-level loss that encourages the le
