Morphology in NLP

The study of word structure, specifically how words are built from smaller meaningful units called morphemes.

Morpheme

The smallest unit of meaning in a language. It can be a word, a part of a word, or a combination of words that has a single meaning.

Derivational morpheme

A morpheme that changes the meaning or grammatical category of a word. It can be a prefix, suffix, or infix.

Free morpheme

A morpheme that can stand alone as a word. It carries its own meaning and doesn't need another morpheme.

Stemming

Study Notes

Morphology in NLP

  • Morphology in natural language processing (NLP) is the study of word structure
  • It focuses on how words are formed from smaller units called morphemes
  • Morphemes are the smallest meaningful units of language
  • Inflectional morphemes change the form of a word to indicate grammatical properties like tense or number
  • Derivational morphemes create new words by changing the word class or meaning
  • Free morphemes have independent meaning
  • Bound morphemes must combine with other morphemes to have meaning

Morphemes

  • Morphemes are the smallest meaningful units of a word
  • Derivational morphemes modify the meaning or grammatical class of a word
  • Free morphemes like "dog" have an independent meaning
  • Bound morphemes, like "-ed" in "walked," need to combine with other morphemes to carry meaning

Stemming

  • Stemming reduces inflected words to their root form
  • This is used for grouping similar words together for tasks in NLP
  • This process simplifies word forms and is generally faster than the alternative approach

NLP Tasks

  • Part-of-speech (POS) tagging involves identifying the grammatical role of words in a sentence
  • Morphological parsing involves breaking down words into their morphological components
  • Semantic analysis focuses on the meaning of words and sentences in a language
  • Syntactic analysis focuses on the grammatical structure of sentences

CFG and PCFG

  • Context-Free Grammars (CFG) are sets of rules describing how to build syntactically valid sentences
  • Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars (PCFG) extend CFGs by associating probabilities with productions rules.
  • PCFGs are used to model the likelihood of different syntactic structures in natural language
  • These models are essential for automatic parsing.

Ambiguity

  • Ambiguity: A sentence can have multiple possible meanings or interpretations.
  • Syntactic ambiguity: A sentence can have more than one possible syntactic structure.
  • Lexical ambiguity: A word can have more than one meaning

Dependency Parsing

  • Dependency parsing identifies the grammatical relationships between words in a sentence
  • These relationships are represented using directed acyclic graphs, where words are nodes and relationships are directed edges
  • Dependency parsing is a vital tool for automatic sentence structure analysis

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD)

  • Aims to determine the correct sense of a word in a given context.

Semantic Role Labeling

  • Semantic role labeling (SRL) is a technique that identifies the role of each word in a sentence, in relation to the main verb.
  • E.g. who performed the action, what was the object
  • This is very important for many applications of natural language processing (NLP).

Parse Trees

  • Parse trees are graphical representations of a sentence's grammatical structure.
  • They depict how words and phrases in a sentence combine based on syntactic rules
  • Parse trees aid in determining the grammatical relationships among words in a sentence

Semantic Similarity

  • Measures the similarity in meaning between two words, phrases or sentences.
