چکیده

Basque is a morphologically rich language, of which several finite-state morphological descriptions have been constructed, primarily using the Xerox/PARC finite-state tools. In this paper we describe the process of porting a previous description of Basque morphology to foma, an open-source finite-state toolkit compatible with Xerox tools, provide a comparison of the two tools, and contrast the development of a twolevel grammar with parallel alternation rules and a sequential grammar developed by composing individual replacement rules.

Developing an Open-Source FST Grammar for Verb Chain Transfer in a Spanish-Basque MT System

This paper presents the current status of development of a finite state transducer grammar for the verbal-chain transfer module in Matxin, a Rule Based Machine Translation system between Spanish and Basque. Due to the distance between Spanish and Basque, the verbal-chain transfer is a very complex module in the overall system. The grammar is compiled with foma, an open-source finitestate toolki...
