CS Lunch talk Monday, October 24
Scott Blaha '07 and Connie Li '06
will discuss their summer research work
with Professor Rich Wicentowski
"
Minimally Supervised Analysis of Multilingual Verb Morphology
"
A morphological analyzer is an algorithm that, given an inflected
word, produces its component morphemes as well as morphological
features. Effective analyzers can be useful in solving other computational
linguistics problems such as machine translation and speech recognition.
Using a corpus of a target language, we can construct a
morphological analyzer by examining the text and comparing the orthographic
and semantic similarities of the words. This talk will discuss the value and
important features of a morphological analyzer and will present two separate
systems that we developed, and the methods used for creating them.
