Inhalt
Computational morphology studies the theories and methods for computational analysis and synthesis of word forms. Morphological analysis is a prerequisite for many natural language processing tasks, such as part-of-speech tagging, parsing, and other higher-level tasks. Morphological analysis also plays an important role in many information retrieval tasks, especially for morphologically complex languages such as the Finish language, many other European languages, most Slavic and Semitic languages, etc. In this seminar course we will read and discuss the relevant literature on computational morphology. We will begin with an overview of the field and outline the basic tasks (analysis, segmentation, clustering, stemming, and lemmatization), approaches, and challenges. We will then be looking at different aspects of computational morphology, ranging from the basic models (finite state-based models and alternatives) to morphology learning (supervised and unsupervised), evaluation methodologies, and applications (in information retrieval and other fields). We will consider inflectional, but also derivational morphology, which is also interesting from a lexical semantics point of view. We will put an emphasis on the task of unsupervised morphology learning, relevant in particular for the many under resourced-languages, and discuss the recent developments in this line of research. This seminar course is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
