Morpho project

The goal of the Morpho project is to develop unsupervised data-driven methods that discover the regularities behind word forming in natural languages. In particular, we are focussing on the discovery of morphemes, which are the primitive units of syntax, the smallest individually meaningful elements in the utterances of a language. Morphemes are important in automatic generation and recognition of a language, especially in languages in which words may have many different inflected forms.
