Processing Mutations in Breton with Finite-State Transducers

Composing Finite State Transducers on GPUs

Weighted finite-state transducers (FSTs) are frequently used in language processing to handle tasks such as part-of-speech tagging and speech recognition. There has been previous work using multiple CPU cores to accelera…

Decoding with Finite-State Transducers on GPUs

Weighted finite automata and transducers (including hidden Markov models and conditional random fields) are widely used in natural language processing (NLP) to perform tasks such as morphological analysis, part-of-speech…

Finite-state Model of Shupamem Reduplication

Shupamem, a language of Western Cameroon, is a tonal language which also exhibits the morpho-phonological process of full reduplication. This creates two challenges for finite-state model of its morpho-syntax and morphop…

A prototype dependency treebank for Breton

This paper describes the development of the first syntactically-annotated corpus of Breton. The corpus is part of the Universal Dependencies project. In the paper we describe how the corpus was prepared, some Breton-spec…
