Probabilistic Hierarchical Clustering Of Morphological Paradigms

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We propose a novel method for learning morphological paradigms that are structured within a hierarchy. The hierarchical structuring of paradigms groups morphologically similar words close to each other in a tree structure. This allows detecting morphological similarities easily leading to improved morphological segmentation. Our evaluation using (Kurimo et al., 2011a; Kurimo et al., 2011b) dataset shows that our method performs competitively when compared with current state-of- art systems.
