    Visual modeling of Turkish morphology
    (European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2020-05-16) Özenç, Berke; Solak, Ercan
    In this paper, we describe the steps in a visual modeling of Turkish morphology using diagramming tools. We aimed to make modeling easier and more maintainable while automating much of the code generation. We released the resulting analyzer, MorTur, and the diagram conversion tool, DiaMor as free, open-source utilities. MorTur analyzer is also publicly available on its web page as a web service. MorTur and DiaMor are part of our ongoing efforts in building a set of natural language processing tools for Turkic languages under a consistent framework.

    A new approach for named entity recognition
    (IEEE, 2017) Ertopçu, Burak; Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Topsakal, Ozan; Açıkgöz, Onur; Gürkan, Ali Tunca; Özenç, Berke; Çam, İlker; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    Many sentences create certain impressions on people. These impressions help the reader to have an insight about the sentence via some entities. In NLP, this process corresponds to Named Entity Recognition (NER). NLP algorithms can trace a lot of entities in the sentence like person, location, date, time or money. One of the major problems in these operations are confusions about whether the word denotes the name of a person, a location or an organisation, or whether an integer stands for a date, time or money. In this study, we design a new model for NER algorithms. We train this model in our predefined dataset and compare the results with other models. In the end we get considerable outcomes in a dataset containing 1400 sentences.

    MorAz: An open-source morphological analyzer for Azerbaijani Turkish
    (Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2018) Özenç, Berke; Ehsani, Razieh; Solak, Ercan
    MorAz is an open-source morphological analyzer for Azerbaijani Turkish. The analyzer is available through both as a website for interactive exploration and as a RESTful web service for integration into a natural language processing pipeline. MorAz implements the morphology of Azerbaijani Turkish following a two-level approach using Helsinki finite-state transducer and wraps the analyzer with python scripts in a Django instance.

    A FST description of noun and verb morphology of Azarbaijani Turkish
    (Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2021) Ehsani, Razieh; Özenç, Berke; Solak, Ercan; Drewes F.
    We give a FST description of nominal and finite verb morphology of Azarbaijani Turkish. We use a hybrid approach where nominal inflection is expressed as a slot-based paradigm and major parts of verb inflection are expressed as optional paths on the FST. We collapse adjective and noun categories in a single nominal category as they behave similarly as far as their paradigms are concerned. Thus, we defer a more precise identification of POS to further down the NLP pipeline.

    Shallow parsing in Turkish
    (IEEE, 2017) Topsakal, Ozan; Açıkgöz, Onur; Gürkan, Ali Tunca; Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Ertopçu, Burak; Özenç, Berke; Çam, İlker; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this study, shallow parsing is applied on Turkish sentences. These sentences are used to train and test the per-formances of various learning algorithms with various features specified for shallow parsing in Turkish.

    All-words word sense disambiguation for Turkish
    (IEEE, 2017) Açıkgöz, Onur; Gürkan, Ali Tunca; Ertopçu, Burak; Topsakal, Ozan; Özenç, Berke; Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Çam, İlker; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    Identifying the sense of a word within a context is a challenging problem and has many applications in natural language processing. This assignment problem is called word sense disambiguation(WSD). Many papers in the literature focus on English language and data. Our dataset consists of 1400 sentences translated to Turkish from the Penn Treebank Corpus. This paper seeks to address and discuss 6 different feature extraction methods and its classification performances using C4.5, Random Forests, Rocchio, Naive Bayes, KNN, Linear and multilayer Perceptron. This paper calls into question how the described features perform on a morphologically rich language (Turkish) with several classifiers.

    Morphological analyser for Turkish
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2018-01-25) Özenç, Berke; Solak, Ercan; Işık Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Yüksek Lisans Programı
    Natural Language Processing is one one the fields of work in computer science and specializes in text summarization, machine translation and many various topics. Morphology is one of the Natural Language Processing features which analyses the words with its suxes. A words meaning can change according to the sux that it takes. Turkish is an agglutinative language with rich morphological structure and set of suxes. This features of Turkish result in complex morphology structure. In this study, we present an analyser for Modern Anatolian Turkish which has high coverage on suffixes and morphological rules of Turkish. Two-Level transformation method which is convenient to design morphology of a language, consists our base of approach. We used HFST which is a Finite State Transducer implementation, as our implementation technique. The analyser covers all morphological and phonetic rules that exist in Turkish and contains a lexicon which consist of today's Turkish words. The analyser is publicly available and can be used on http://ddil.isikun.edu.tr/mortur.

    An approach to anaylse Turkish syntax at morphosyntactic level
    (Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, 2025-01-20) Özenç, Berke; Solak, Ercan; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Doktora Programı; Işık University, School of Graduate Studies, Ph.D. in Computer Engineering
    Syntactic analysis allows us to analyse the sentence structure in various ways. Constituency parsing is one of the various ways of conducting syntactic analysis. This parsing method defines sentence structure as hierarchical relationships between words or phrases and represents them in tree form. Constituency parsing employs constituency grammar which defines how constituents combine and form other constituents. In this grammar, any syntactic structure from the sentence to the words is represented by the constituents. Although this approach is designed to focus on universal aspects of the languages, English has always been in its focus. This situation makes the constituency approach miss the details that the morphology puts in the syntax of morphologically rich languages. In this study, we implement an extension for the constituency parsing which overcomes the challenges in parsing of MRL (Morphologically Rich Language). We propose ideas tailored to Turkish, yet they can be used for any language like Turkish. Our extension enables the constituency parsing to start at the morpheme level. Thus, we involve morphemic structures in the parsing process and express their syntactic effects on the structure. We have our implementations by extending the CYK (Cocke Younger Kasami) algorithm. During parsing, we utilize extra rules to transfer the ambiguity in morphology to the parsing. In addition, we designed a morpheme-focused constituency set for Turkish. This set involves affixes, stems and phrases headed by a stem. We demonstrate our work with a mini treebank and the grammar generated from it.

    TurkEmbed: Turkish embedding model on natural language inference & sentence text similarity tasks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ezerceli, Özay; Gümüşçekiçci, Gizem; Erkoç, Tuğba; Özenç, Berke
    This paper introduces TurkEmbed, a novel Turkish language embedding model designed to outperform existing models, particularly in Natural Language Inference (NLI) and Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) tasks. Current Turkish embedding models often rely on machine-translated datasets, potentially limiting their accuracy and semantic understanding. TurkEmbed utilizes a combination of diverse datasets and advanced training techniques, including matryoshka representation learning, to achieve more robust and accurate embeddings. This approach enables the model to adapt to various resource-constrained environments, offering faster encoding capabilities. Our evaluation on the Turkish STS-b-TR dataset, using Pearson and Spearman correlation metrics, demonstrates significant improvements in semantic similarity tasks. Furthermore, TurkEmbed surpasses the current state-of-the-art model, Emrecan, on All-NLI-TR and STS-b-TR benchmarks, achieving a 1-4% improvement. TurkEmbed promises to enhance the Turkish NLP ecosystem by providing a more nuanced understanding of language and facilitating advancements in downstream applications.
