Yayın 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 TanerMany 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.Yayın AnlamVer: Semantic model evaluation dataset for Turkish - word similarity and relatedness(Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2018-08-26) Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay TanerIn 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.Yayın 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 TanerIn 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.Yayın 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 TanerIdentifying 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.Yayın A multilayer annotated corpus for Turkish(IEEE, 2018-06-06) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Ak, Koray; Ercan, Gökhan; Topsakal, Ozan; Asmazoğlu, CengizIn this paper, we present the first multilayer annotated corpus for Turkish, which is a low-resourced agglutinative language. Our dataset consists of 9,600 sentences translated from the Penn Treebank Corpus. Annotated layers contain syntactic and semantic information including morphological disambiguation of words, named entity annotation, shallow parse, sense annotation, and semantic role label annotation.Yayın An open, extendible, and fast Turkish morphological analyzer(Incoma Ltd, 2019-09) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, GökhanIn this paper, we present a two-level morphological analyzer for Turkish which consists of five main components: finite state transducer, rule engine for suffixation, lexicon, trie data structure, and LRU cache. We use Java language to implement finite state machine logic and rule engine, Xml language to describe the finite state transducer rules of the Turkish language, which makes the morphological analyzer both easily extendible and easily applicable to other languages. Empowered with a comprehensive lexicon of 54,000 bare-forms including 19,000 proper nouns, our morphological analyzer is amongst the most reliable analyzers produced so far. The analyzer is compared with Turkish morphological analyzers in the literature. By using LRU cache and a trie data structure, the system can analyze 100,000 words per second, which enables users to analyze huge corpora in a few hours.Yayın Türkçe anlamsal söylem ve cümle benzerliği analizleri için veri kümesi oluşturma yöntemi(IEEE, 2018-12-06) Ercan, Gökhan; Erkek, Orçun; Açıkgöz, Onur; Özçelik, Rıza; Parlar, Selen; Yıldız, Olcay TanerÇalışmamızın amacı Türkçe için paragraf-cümle düzeyinde anlamsal söylem analizi ve paragraf-cümle ve cümle-cümle düzeyinde metinsel benzerlik ölçümlemesi için bir veri kümesi hazırlamaktır.Yayın Morpholex Turkish: a morphological Lexicon for Turkish(European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2022-06-25) Arıcan, Bilge Nas; Kuzgun, Aslı; Marşan, Büşra; Aslan, Deniz Baran; Sanıyar, Ezgi; Cesur, Neslihan; Kara, Neslihan; Kuyrukçu, Oğuzhan; Özçelik, Merve; Yenice, Arife Betül; Doğan, Merve; Oksal, Ceren; Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay TanerMorphoLex is a study in which root, prefix and suffixes of words are analyzed. With MorphoLex, many words can be analyzed according to certain rules and a useful database can be created. Due to the fact that Turkish is an agglutinative language and the richness of its language structure, it offers different analyzes and results from previous studies in MorphoLex. In this study, we revealed the process of creating a database with 48,472 words and the results of the differences in language structure.Yayın Semantic relation extraction by enriching word embeddings exploiting Turkish morphology(Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, 2025-03-18) Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Doktora ProgramıDistributed representations (DR) are used to capture semantic and syntactic patterns in language by analyzing the distributional relationships of words within textual data. The modeling methods that produce DR are based on the assumption (distributional hypothesis) that "words that occur in the same context tend to have similar meanings," which is inherent to the nature of language. These modeling methods, due to their unsupervised nature, can be trained without human judgment input, allowing researchers to train large datasets at relatively low costs. Although word-based models perform effectively for languages with limited vocabularies, such as English, they exhibit considerable inefficiency when applied to morphologically rich languages with unlimited vocabularies, such as Turkish. We observed that n-gram and statistical segmentation methods, which are commonly used in subword modeling to address the issues of out-of-vocabulary and rare-words, are highly sensitive to orthographic similarity. Consequently, these methods struggle to distinguish between unrelated concepts (e.g., shrink - shrine). Moreover, we noted that the impact of morphological segmentation methods on these types of problems has shown inconsistent results in the literature. This thesis aims to make conceptual assumptions and improvements concerning different types of semantic relationships (e.g., relatedness and similarity), to model the role of language morphology as an input in subword DR models, and to develop the dataset generation methodologies and evaluation methods to measure this effect. Within the scope of the study, different models and segmentation methods were empirically tested, the AnlamVer and OSimUnr datasets were produced, and the task of relatedness classification and associated evaluation methods were proposed to measure the noise introduced by segmentation to the model. Our experiments demonstrate that morphological segmentation produces significantly less noise compared to n-gram-based methods and can lead to substantial performance improvements depending on the nature of the task.Yayın 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 TanerWe 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.
