Towards Joint Morphological Analysis and Dependency Parsing of Turkish
نویسندگان
چکیده
Turkish is an agglutinative language with rich morphology-syntax interactions. As an extension of this property, the Turkish Treebank is designed to represent sublexical dependencies, which brings extra challenges to parsing raw text. In this work, we use a joint POS tagging and parsing approach to parse Turkish raw text, and we show it outperforms a pipeline approach. Then we experiment with incorporating morphological feature prediction into the joint system. Our results show statistically significant improvements with the joint systems and achieve the state-ofthe-art accuracy for Turkish dependency parsing.

An improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
متن کاملA Graph-based Lattice Dependency Parser for Joint Morphological Segmentation and Syntactic Analysis
Space-delimited words in Turkish and Hebrew text can be further segmented into meaningful units, but syntactic and semantic context is necessary to predict segmentation. At the same time, predicting correct syntactic structures relies on correct segmentation. We present a graph-based lattice dependency parser that operates on morphological lattices to represent different segmentations and morph...
متن کاملTurkish Treebank as a Gold Standard for Morphological Disambiguation and Its Influence on Parsing
So far predicted scenarios for Turkish dependency parsing have used a morphological disambiguator that is trained on the data distributed with the tool(Sak et al., 2008). Although models trained on this data have high accuracy scores on the test and development data of the same set, the accuracy drastically drops when the model is used in the preprocessing of Turkish Treebank parsing experiment...
متن کاملThe Impact of Automatic Morphological Analysis & Disambiguation on Dependency Parsing of Turkish
The studies on dependency parsing of Turkish so far gave their results on the Turkish Dependency Treebank. This treebank consists of gold standard sentences where part-of-speech tags are manually assigned to each word and the words forming multi word expressions are also manually determined and combined into single units. For the first time, we investigate the results of parsing Turkish sentenc...
متن کاملThe Incremental Use of Morphological Information and Lexicalization in Data-Driven Dependency Parsing
Typological diversity among the natural languages of the world poses interesting challenges for the models and algorithms used in syntactic parsing. In this paper, we apply a data-driven dependency parser to Turkish, a language characterized by rich morphology and flexible constituent order, and study the effect of employing varying amounts of morpholexical information on parsing performance. T...
