Towards Finite-State Morphology of Kurdish
Morphological analysis is the study of the formation and structure of words. It plays a crucial role in various tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics (CL) such as machine translation and text and speech generation. Kurdish is a less-resourced multi-dialect Indo-European language with highly inflectional morphology. In this paper, as the first attempt of its kind, the morphology of the Kurdish language (Sorani dialect) is described from a computational point of view. We extract morphological rules which are transformed into finite-state transducers for generating and analyzing words. The result of this research assists in conducting studies on language generation for Kurdish and enhances the Information Retrieval (IR) capacity for the language while leveraging the Kurdish NLP and CL into a more advanced computational level.

A Formal Description of Sorani Kurdish Morphology
Sorani Kurdish, also known as Central Kurdish, has a complex morphology, particularly due to the patterns in which morphemes appear. Although several aspects of Kurdish morphology have been studied, such as pronominal en…
Morphological AnalysisKurdSTS: The Kurdish Semantic Textual Similarity
Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) measures the degree of meaning overlap between two texts and underpins many NLP tasks. While extensive resources exist for high-resource languages, low-resource languages such as Kurdish…

A morphological analyzer, which is a significant component of many natural language processing applications especially for morphologically rich languages, divides an input word into all its composing morphemes and identi…
A Corpus of the Sorani Kurdish Folkloric Lyrics
Kurdish poetry and prose narratives were historically transmitted orally and less in a written form. Being an essential medium of oral narration and literature, Kurdish lyrics have had a unique attribute in becoming a vi…

Next word prediction is an input technology that simplifies the process of typing by suggesting the next word to a user to select, as typing in a conversation consumes time. A few previous studies have focused on the Kur…
