Turkish language resources: Morphological parser, morphological disambiguator and web corpus

2008    Sak, Hasim; Guengor, Tunga; Saraclar, Murat

In this paper, we propose a set of language resources for building Turkish language processing applications. Specifically, we present a finite-state implementation of a morphological parser, an averaged perceptron-based morphological disambiguator, and compilation of a web corpus. Turkish is an agglutinative language with a highly productive inflectional and derivational morphology, We present an implementation of a morphological parser based on two-level morphology. This parser is one of the most complete parsers for Turkish and it runs independent of any other external system such as PC-KIMMO in contrast to existing parsers. Due to complex phonology and morphology of Turkish, parsing introduces some ambiguous parses. We developed a morphological disambiguator with accuracy of about 98% using averaged perceptron algorithm. We also present our efforts to build a Turkish web corpus of about 423 million words.
