<b>Abstract</b> 

<p class="indent">
This document describes <em>Hutmegs</em>, the Helsinki University of
Technology Morphological Evaluation Gold Standard package, which
contains gold-standard morphological segmentations for 1.4 million
Finnish and 120 000 English words. The Gold Standards comprise
surface-string, or allomorph, segmentations of word forms, as well as
deep-level, or morpheme, segmentations of the words. The segmentations
have been produced semi-automatically and are based on existing
resources: the two-level morphological analyzer for Finnish (FINTWOL)
and the English CELEX database. For some cases where the transition
between two morphemes does not appear clear-cut, so called "fuzzy
morpheme boundaries" have been marked as an option. The Hutmegs
package also contains some evaluation scripts allowing the user to
compute the accuracy compared to the Gold Standard of a segmentation
produced by some morphology-learning algorithm. The use of Hutmegs is
free for academic purposes, but in order to access the gold-standard
segmentations, inexpensive licenses must be purchased from Lingsoft
Inc. (for Finnish) and the Linguistic Data Consortium (for English).
