Statistical Parsing of Morphologically Rich Languages (SPMRL) What, How and Whither
نویسندگان
چکیده
The term Morphologically Rich Languages (MRLs) refers to languages in which significant information concerning syntactic units and relations is expressed at word-level. There is ample evidence that the application of readily available statistical parsing models to such languages is susceptible to serious performance degradation. The first workshop on statistical parsing of MRLs hosts a variety of contributions which show that despite languagespecific idiosyncrasies, the problems associated with parsing MRLs cut across languages and parsing frameworks. In this paper we review the current state-of-affairs with respect to parsing MRLs and point out central challenges. We synthesize the contributions of researchers working on parsing Arabic, Basque, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi and Korean to point out shared solutions across languages. The overarching analysis suggests itself as a source of directions for future investigations.

This paper revisits the work of (Malladi and Mannem, 2013) which focused on building a Statistical Morphological Analyzer (SMA) for Hindi and compares the performance of SMA with other existing statistical analyzer, Morfette. We shall evaluate SMA in various experiment scenarios and look at how it performs for unseen words. The later part of the paper presents the effect of the predicted morph ...
متن کاملOverview of the SPMRL 2013 Shared Task: A Cross-Framework Evaluation of Parsing Morphologically Rich Languages
This paper reports on the first shared task on statistical parsing of morphologically rich languages (MRLs). The task features data sets from nine languages, each available both in constituency and dependency annotation. We report on the preparation of the data sets, on the proposed parsing scenarios, and on the evaluation metrics for parsing MRLs given different representation types. We presen...
متن کاملThe AI-KU System at the SPMRL 2013 Shared Task : Unsupervised Features for Dependency Parsing
We propose the use of the word categories and embeddings induced from raw text as auxiliary features in dependency parsing. To induce word features, we make use of contextual, morphologic and orthographic properties of the words. To exploit the contextual information, we make use of substitute words, the most likely substitutes for target words, generated by using a statistical language model. ...
