An FST morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: An FST morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language
Author: Clarissa Forbes
Author: Garrett Nicolai
Author: Miikka Silfverberg
Abstract: This paper presents a finite-state morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language. The analyzer draws from a 1250-token Eastern dialect wordlist. It is based on finite-state technology and additionally includes two extensions which can provide analyses for out-of-vocabulary words: rules for generating predictable dialect variants, and a neural guesser component. The pre-neural analyzer, tested against interlinear-annotated texts from multiple dialects, achieves coverage of (75-81%), and maintains high precision (95-100%). The neural extension improves coverage at the cost of lowered precision.

An FST morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language. (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: An FST morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language.
Author: Clarissa Forbes
Author: Garrett Nicolai
Author: Miikka Silfverberg
Abstract: This paper provides a case study of the ongoing development of a finite-state morphological analyzer for the Gitksan language. The analyzer draws from a 1250-token Eastern dialect wordlist, and was tested against interlinear-annotated texts from multiple dialects. Analyzer coverage varies across dialects (50-70%), but it maintains high precision (95-100%).
