Simple Compound Splitting for German
Marion Weller-Di Marco · 2017
This paper presents a simple method for German compound splitting that combines a basic frequency-based approach with a form-to-lemma mapping to approximate morphological operations.With the exception of a small set of hand-crafted rules for modeling transitional elements, our approach is resource-poor.In our evaluation, the simple splitter outperforms a splitter relying on rich morphological resources.
