In schwartz2019bootstrapping’s work on modelling complex nouns in Yupik, they generate a training set which exhaustively pairs every Yupik noun root with every inflectional suffix, regardless of the resulting semantic fidelity. In effect, the training set represents .00004% of the space over which we seek to generalize.
