• Abstract: Sorani Kurdish, also known as Central Kurdish, has a complex morphology, particularly due to the patterns in which morphemes appear. Although several aspects of Kurdish morphology have been studied, such as pronominal endoclitics and Izafa constructions, Sorani Kurdish morphology has received trivial attention in computational linguistics. Moreover, some morphemes, such as the emphasis endoclitic =\^i\c{s}, and derivational morphemes have not been previously studied. To tackle the complex morphology of Sorani, we provide a thorough description of Sorani Kurdish morphological and morphophonological constructions in a formal way such that they can be used as finite-state transducers for morphological analysis and synthesis.

  We present labeled morphological segmentation, an alternative view of morphological processing that unifies several tasks. We additionally introduce a new hierarchy of morphotactic tagsets. We develop modelname, a discriminative morphological segmentation system that explicitly models morphotactics.

• Quantifying Synthesis and Fusion and their Impact on Machine Translation [79.61874492642691]
  In Natural Language Processing (NLP) typically labels a whole language with a strict type of morphology, e.g. fusional or agglutinative. In this work, we propose to reduce the rigidity of such claims, by quantifying morphological typology at the word and segment level. For computing literature, we test unsupervised and supervised morphological segmentation methods for English, German and Turkish, whereas for fusion, we propose a semi-automatic method using Spanish as a case study. Then, we analyse the relationship between machine translation quality and the degree of synthesis and fusion at word (nouns and verbs for English-Turkish,

  Kinyarwanda, a morphologically rich language, currently lacks tools for automated morphological analysis. We learn to morphologically disambiguate Kinyarwanda verbal forms from a new stemming dataset collected through crowd-sourcing. Our experiments reveal that inflectional properties of stems and morpheme association rules are the most discriminative features for disambiguation.
