    AnlamVer: Semantic model evaluation dataset for Turkish - word similarity and relatedness
    (Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2018-08-26) Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this paper, we present AnlamVer, which is a semantic model evaluation dataset for Turkish designed to evaluate word similarity and word relatedness tasks while discriminating those two relations from each other. Our dataset consists of 500 word-pairs annotated by 12 human subjects, and each pair has two distinct scores for similarity and relatedness. Word-pairs are selected to enable the evaluation of distributional semantic models by multiple attributes of words and word-pair relations such as frequency, morphology, concreteness and relation types (e.g., synonymy, antonymy). Our aim is to provide insights to semantic model researchers by evaluating models in multiple attributes. We balance dataset word-pairs by their frequencies to evaluate the robustness of semantic models concerning out-of-vocabulary and rare words problems, which are caused by the rich derivational and inflectional morphology of the Turkish language.

    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.

    Grammar or crammer? the role of morphology in distinguishing orthographically similar but semantically unrelated words
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    We show that n-gram-based distributional models fail to distinguish unrelated words due to the noise in semantic spaces. This issue remains hidden in conventional benchmarks but becomes more pronounced when orthographic similarity is high. To highlight this problem, we introduce OSimUnr, a dataset of nearly one million English and Turkish word-pairs that are orthographically similar but semantically unrelated (e.g., grammar - crammer). These pairs are generated through a graph-based WordNet approach and morphological resources. We define two evaluation tasks - unrelatedness identification and relatedness classification - to test semantic models. Our experiments reveal that FastText, with default n-gram segmentation, performs poorly (below 5% accuracy) in identifying unrelated words. However, morphological segmentation overcomes this issue, boosting accuracy to 68% (English) and 71% (Turkish) without compromising performance on standard benchmarks (RareWords, MTurk771, MEN, AnlamVer). Furthermore, our results suggest that even state-of-the-art LLMs, including Llama 3.3 and GPT-4o-mini, may exhibit noise in their semantic spaces, particularly in highly synthetic languages such as Turkish. To ensure dataset quality, we leverage WordNet, MorphoLex, and NLTK, covering fully derivational morphology supporting atomic roots (e.g., '-co_here+ance+y' for 'coherency'), with 405 affixes in Turkish and 467 in English.
