Discovering Morphological Paradigms from Plain Text Using a Dirichlet Process Mixture Model

We present an inference algorithm that organizes observed words (tokens) into structured inflectional paradigms (types). It also naturally predicts the spelling of unobserved forms that are missing from these paradigms, and discovers inflectional …

A Non-Parametric Model for the Discovery of Inflectional Paradigms from Plain Text Using Graphical Models over Strings

The field of statistical natural language processing has been turning toward morphologically rich languages. These languages have vocabularies that are often orders of magnitude larger than that of English, since words may be inflected in various …
