A Morphological Analyser for Machine Translation Based on Finite-state Transducers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A finite-state, rule-based morphological analyser is presented here, within the framework of machine translation system TAVAL. This morphological analyser introduces specific features which are particularly useful for translation, such as the detection and morphological tagging of word groups that act as a single lexical unit for translation purposes. The case where words in one such group are not strictly contiguous is also covered. A brief description of the Spanish-to-Catalan and Catalan-to-Spanish translation system TAVAL is given in the paper.

Comparing nondeterministic and quasideterministic finite-state transducers built from morphological dictionaries
This paper describes a comparison between quasideterministic and nondeterministic finite-state transducers generated from morphological dictionaries containing the vocabulary (lemmas) and the morphological inflection information of a natural language processing application such as the morphological analyser of a machine translation system. Results show that non-deterministic transducers are mor...
متن کاملModularisation of Finnish Finite-State Language Description - Towards Wide Collaboration in Open Source Development of a Morphological Analyser
In this paper we present an open source implementation for Finnish morphological parser. We shortly evaluate it against contemporary criticism towards monolithic and unmaintainable finite-state language description. We use it to demonstrate way of writing finite-state language description that is used for varying set of projects, that typically need morphological analyser, such as POS tagging, ...
متن کاملA Two-Level Morphological Analyser for the Indonesian Language
This paper presents our efforts at developing an Indonesian morphological analyser that provides a detailed analysis of the rich affixation process. We model Indonesian morphology using a two-level morphology approach, decomposing the process into a set of morphotactic and morphophonemic rules. These rules are modelled as a network of finite state transducers and implemented using xfst and lexc...
متن کاملFinite-State Morphological Analysis for Marathi
This paper describes the development of free/open-source morphological descriptions for Marathi, an Indo-Aryan language spoken in the state of Maharashtra in India. We describe the conversion and usage of an existing Latin-based lexicon for our Devanagari-based analyser, taking into account the distinction between full vowels and diacritics, that is not adequately captured by the Latin. Marathi...
متن کاملA Finite-State Morphological Analyser for Sindhi
Morphological analysis is a fundamental task in natural-language processing, which is used in other NLP applications such as part-of-speech tagging, syntactic parsing, information retrieval, machine translation, etc. In this paper, we present our work on the development of free/open-source finite-state morphological analyser for Sindhi. We have used Apertium’s lttoolbox as our finite-state tool...
