Fifth Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages
Abstract
Semi-supervised sequence labeling is an effective way to train a low-resource morphological segmentation system. We show that a feature set augmentation approach, which combines the strengths of generative and discriminative mod- els, is suitable both for graphical models like conditional random field (CRF) and sequence-to-sequence neural models. We perform a comparative evaluation be- tween three existing and one novel semi-supervised segmentation methods. All four systems are language-independent and have open-source implementations. We improve on previous best results for North Sámi morphological segmentation. We see a relative improvement in morph boundary F 1 -score of 8.6% compared to using the generative Morfessor FlatCat model directly and 2.4% compared to a seq2seq baseline. Our neural sequence tagging system reaches almost the same performance as the CRF topline.Description
