New MoVoC tokenizer improves morphology handling for Ge'ez script languages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed MoVoC (Morpheme-aware Subword Vocabulary Construction), a novel tokenizer designed to better handle morphologically complex languages, particularly those using the Ge'ez script. This approach integrates supervised morphological analysis with subword tokenization methods like byte-pair encoding to preserve morphological boundaries while maintaining lexical meaning. The team has released annotated data for four Ge'ez script languages and a morpheme-aware vocabulary, demonstrating improved performance in morphological segmentation for languages like Tigre, even when applied cross-lingually. AI

IMPACT Enhances NLP capabilities for morphologically rich, low-resource languages, potentially improving translation and text analysis.

    MoVoC: Morphology-Aware Subword Construction for Geez Script Languages Corrected version

    arXiv:2509.08812v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Subword-based tokenization methods often fail to preserve morphological boundaries, a limitation especially pronounced in low-resource, morphologically complex languages such as those written in the Ge'ez script. To address this…
