    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.

    Integrating Turkish Wordnet KeNet to Princeton WordNet: The case of one-to-many correspondences
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-10) Bakay, Özge; Ergelen, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this paper, we introduce a novel approach of forming interlingual relations between multilingual wordnets. We have mapped Turkish senses in KeNet with their corresponding senses in Princeton WordNet by drawing one-To-many correspondences. As a result of language-specific properties, one synset in one language is matched with multiple synsets in the other language in some cases. Our method of integrating KeNet into a multilingual network also included mapping the most frequent 5000 senses in English with their equivalent senses in Turkish. What we demonstrate is that one-To-many interlingual correspondances are necessary to include in mappings both from Turkish-To-English and English-To-Turkish. Furthermore, one-To-many mappings give us insights into the semantic relations to be constructed in Turkish, such as hypernymy.

    Problems caused by semantic drift in WordNet synset construction
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-09) Bakay, Özge; Ergelen, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this study, we summarize the semantic drift problem that occur in specific synsets of KeNet, a Turkish WordNet, which is caused by mis-merging of semantically-related lexical items, morphological markings and false part of speech (POS) matchings. We present our approach to these problems in order to eliminate the semantic drift. We have re-analyzed the dictionary definitions of the items, placed those that possess different verbal markings into separate synsets, and divided synsets based on the POS of the items in them.

    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.

    Chunking in Turkish with conditional random fields
    (Springer-Verlag, 2015-04-14) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Solak, Ercan; Ehsani, Razieh; Görgün, Onur
    In this paper, we report our work on chunking in Turkish. We used the data that we generated by manually translating a subset of the Penn Treebank. We exploited the already available tags in the trees to automatically identify and label chunks in their Turkish translations. We used conditional random fields (CRF) to train a model over the annotated data. We report our results on different levels of chunk resolution.

    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.

    Automatic propbank generation for Turkish
    (Incoma Ltd, 2019-09) Ak, Koray; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    Semantic role labeling (SRL) is an important task for understanding natural languages, where the objective is to analyse propositions expressed by the verb and to identify each word that bears a semantic role. It provides an extensive dataset to enhance NLP applications such as information retrieval, machine translation, information extraction, and question answering. However, creating SRL models are difficult. Even in some languages, it is infeasible to create SRL models that have predicate-argument structure due to lack of linguistic resources. In this paper, we present our method to create an automatic Turkish PropBank by exploiting parallel data from the translated sentences of English PropBank. Experiments show that our method gives promising results. © 2019 Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).

    An all-words sense annotated Turkish corpus
    (IEEE, 2018-06-06) Akçakaya, Sinan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    This paper reports our efforts in constructing of a sense labeled Turkish corpus with respect to Turkish Language Institution's dictionary, using the traditional method of manual tagging. We tagged a pre-built parallel treebank which is translated from the Penn Treebank II corpus. This approach allowed us to generate a full-coverage resource, in which syntactic and semantic information merged. We also provide miscellaneous statistics about the corpus itself as well as its development process.

    A multilayer annotated corpus for Turkish
    (IEEE, 2018-06-06) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Ak, Koray; Ercan, Gökhan; Topsakal, Ozan; Asmazoğlu, Cengiz
    In 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.

    An open, extendible, and fast Turkish morphological analyzer
    (Incoma Ltd, 2019-09) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, Gökhan
    In 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.
