The growth and trends information technology endangered language revitalization research: Insight from a bibliometric study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared endangered languages, researchers have revitalized endangered languages in many fields. This study discusses a bibliometric analysis conducted to investigate research on the topic of revitalization of endangered languages in information technology. The study's aim is to assess research topics by identifying authors, institutions, and countries that influence research collaboration. The Scopus dataset (from 2002-2024) was obtained from journal articles (n=62) and conference papers (n=76) and visualized using VOSviewer 1.6.20. The analysis outcomes reveal a fluctuating trend with an increasing pattern. The United States, Canada, and China were identified as the top three countries in terms of publications. Meanwhile, the University of Alberta, Université du Québec à Montréal, University of Auckland, and University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa are the most prolific institutions on this topic, with two authors from the Université du Québec à Montréal, Sadat and Le, being the most productive. The dominant research is related to computational linguistics. Meanwhile, topics such as phonetic posteriograms, integrated frameworks, and artificial intelligence are some of the potential research areas that can be explored in the future. Its implications for exposing the extent to which the development of endangered language revitalization can be accommodated in the field of information technology.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
