Die Morphologie (f): Targeted Lexical Acquisition for Languages other than English
Jeremy Nicholson, Timothy J. Baldwin, Phil Blunsom · 2006
We examine standard deep lexical acquisition features in automatically predicting the gender of noun types and tokens by bootstrapping from a small annotated corpus. Using a knowledge-poor approach to simulate prediction in unseen languages, we observe results comparable to morphological analysers trained specifically on our target languages of German and French. These results describe further scope in analysing other properties in languages displaying a more challenging morphosyntax, in order to create language resources in a language-independent manner. 1
