Analyser Evaluation

Stems

The total number of stems can be found below:

• 8 N-Stems
• 4 Definite/Plural
• 4 Verbs_Inf (infinitives)
• 4 V-Stems_1
• 4 V-Stems_2
• 6 Subject_Prn
• 4 Imperatives
• 6 Prns
• 3 Adj-Stem
• 2 Comparatives
• 3 Prepositions
• 3 Conjunctions
• 2 Adverbs
• 2 Npast

Coverage

The total coverage over the ckb.basic corpus is 12.02%. This was an increase of 3 percentage points that came after adding three common words for "water", "earth", and "god" (all just <n>), two prepositions for "which" and "on" (<pr>), and one conjunction for "so" (<conjcoo>). The current top unknown words are:

• بوو
• هەموو
• با
• ئەمە
• فەرمووی

The total coverage over the Wikipedia corpus is 21.48%.

Tests

The transducer currently passes 80/101 (79%) tests on the main yaml file and 3/6 (50%) on the commonwords file. It seems to do well with noun morphology and most verb morphology.

Generator Evaluation

Initial Evaluation of Morphological Generation

Morphological Analysis

• 85 passes, 16 fails, 101 total (84%)
• 21.48% coverage over Wikipedia corpus

Morphological Generation

• 85 passes, 49 fails, 134 total (63%)

Final Evaluation of Morphological Generation

• 85 passes, 33 fails, 118 total (72%)
• Number of twol tests added: 3

Notes

The remaining 16 morphological analysis tests fail for the following reasons:

• The izafa enclitic and the demonstrative adjectives were skipped (not implemented). All other grammar points were attempted in some way.
• Some verbs, particularly هاتن (to come), have different imperative/non-past stems. Because only one lexicon was used for both types of verbs, this could not be accounted for.
