چکیده

The authors suggest an approach to the learning of new words and new variations of known words in natural language morphological analysis. This method focuses on the determination of radicals and suffixes of words, and is implemented by splitting each word into a list of all possible radical/suffix pairs whereby the most promising of them is determined comparing certainty degrees. The calculus of the certainty degrees is based on combination of the certainty values obtained for each possible radical and suffix. Some combination techniques of these certainties are compared.

Words over an ordered alphabet and suffix permutations

Given an ordered alphabet and a permutation, according to the lexicographic order, on the set of suffixes of a word w, we present in this article a linear time and space method to determine whether a word w′ has the same permutation on its suffixes. Using this method, we are then also able to build the class of all the words having the same permutation on their suffixes, first of all the smalle...

Using Unsupervised Paradigm Acquisition for Prefixes

We describe a simple method of unsupervised morpheme segmentation of words in an unknown language. All that is needed is a raw text corpus (or a list of words) in the given language. The algorithm identifies word parts occurring in many words and interprets them as morpheme candidates (prefixes, stems and suffixes). New treatment of prefixes is the main innovation in comparison to [1]. After fi...
