An FST morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language
Clarissa Forbes, Garrett Nicolai, Miikka Silfverberg · 2021
This paper presents a finite-state morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language.The analyzer draws from a 1250-token Eastern dialect wordlist.It is based on finite-state technology and additionally includes two extensions which can provide analyses for out-ofvocabulary words: rules for generating predictable dialect variants, and a neural guesser component.The pre-neural analyzer, tested against interlinear-annotated texts from multiple dialects, achieves coverage of (75-81%), and maintains high precision (95-100%).The neural extension improves coverage at the cost of lowered precision.
