Word Segmentation and Morphological Parsing for Sanskrit
Jingwen Li, Leander Girrbach
We describe our participation in the Word Segmentation and Morphological Parsing (WSMP) for Sanskrit hackathon. We approach the word segmentation task as a sequence labelling task by predicting edit operations from which segmentations are derived. We approach the morphological analysis task by predicting morphological tags and rules that transform inflected words into their corresponding stems. Also, we propose an end-to-end trainable pipeline model for joint segmentation and morphological analysis. Our model performed best in the joint segmentation and analysis subtask (80.018 F1 score) and performed second best in the individual subtasks (segmentation: 96.189 F1 score / analysis: 69.180 F1 score). Finally, we analyse errors made by our models and suggest future work and possible improvements regarding data and evaluation.
