A Unification-based Approach to Morpho-syntactic Parsing of Agglutinative and Other (Highly) Inflectional Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a new approach to morpho-syntactic analysis through Humor 99 (High-speed Unification Mo.rphology), a reversible and unification-based morphological analyzer which has already been integrated with a variety of industrial applications. Humor 99 successfully copes with problems of agglutinative (e.g. Hungarian, Turkish, Estonian) and other (highly) inflectional languages (e.g. Polish, Czech, German) very effectively. The authors conclude the paper by arguing that the approach used in Humor 99 is general enough to be well suitable for a wide range of languages, and can serve as basis for higher-level linguistic operations such as shallow parsing.

Industrial Applications of Unification Morphology
Industrial applications of a reversible, string-based, unification approach called Humor (High-speed Unification Morphology) is introduced in the paper. It has been used for creating a variety of proofing tools and dictionaries, like spelling checkers, hyphenators, lemmatizers, inflectional thesauri, intelligent bi-lingual dictionaries and, of course, full morphological analysis and synthesis. ...
متن کاملMorphology In Statistical Machine Translation From English To Highly Inflectional Language
In this paper, we investigate the role of morphology in phrase-based statistical machine translation (SMT) from English to the highly inflectional Slovenian language. Translation to an inflectional language is a challenging task because of its morphological complexity. Rich morphology increases data sparsity and worsens the quality of statistical machine translation. The idea of the paper is to...

متن کاملDependency Parsing of Turkish
The suitability of different parsing methods for different languages is an important topic in syntactic parsing. Especially lesser-studied languages, typologically different from the languages for which methods have originally been developed, pose interesting challenges in this respect. This article presents an investigation of data-driven dependency parsing of Turkish, an agglutinative, free c...
متن کاملReduction of Morpho-Syntactic Features in Statistical Machine Translation of Highly Inflective Language
We address the problem of statistical machine translation from highly inflective language to less inflective one. The characteristics of inflective languages are generally not taken into account by the statistical machine translation system. Existing translation systems often treat different inflected word forms of the same lemma as if they were independent of each other, although some interdep...
