A Hybrid Approach to the Induction of Underlying Morphology
Michael Tepper, Fei Xia · International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing · 2008
We present a technique for re ning a baseline segmentation and generating a plausible underlying morpheme segmentation by integrating hand-written rewrite rules into an existing state-of-the-art unsupervised morphological induction procedure. Performance on measures which consider surface-boundary accuracy and underlying morpheme consistency indicates this technique leads to improvements over baseline segmentations for English and Turkish word lists.
