Abstract
We survey research using neural sequence-to-sequence models as compu- tational models of morphological learning and learnability. We discuss their use in determining the predictability of inflectional exponents, in making predictions about language acquisition and in modeling language change. Finally, we make some proposals for future work in these areas.
