The aim of this article is to describe the process of determining the inflectional group using P systems with replications. In this process firstly the sets of endings of the same length are constructed, to which inflectional models are put into correspondence. Based on these endings the inflectional model for arbitrary word is determined.

We present a morphological tagger for Latin, called TTLab Latin Tagger based on Conditional Random Fields (TLT-CRF) which uses a large Latin lexicon.

It utilizes a statistical model based on CRFs together with a rule interpreter that addresses scenarios of sparse training data. We present resu...
