A morphological generator for Kannada based on finite state transducers

Bhuvaneshwari C. Melinamath, A G Mallikarjunmath · 2011

We present morphological generator for Kannada Language. Our work is novel in that it explicitly addresses the need for processing the morphology of the language. This system performs generation of inflected forms given root+pattern+features representation. It has separate orthographic representations, it allows for combining morphemes at different levels. Morphological analyzers and generators are essential parts of many natural-language processing systems such as machine translation (MAT). They may be efficiently implemented using finite state transducers. We have obtained more than 90% result for nouns and around 85% for verbs.
