Every character-level split that uses a legal prefix and suffix sequence is generated, and a linear SVM-rank model scores the candidates. The features are stem and affix likelihoods, lexicon membership (a list of valid stems, a gazetteer of names, a list… ## Co-authors (7) - [Ahmed Abdelali](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ahmed-abdelali/) ×2 - Fahim Dalvi - [Hamdy Mubarak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hamdy-mubarak/) - Hassan Sajjad - [Kareem Darwish](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kareem-darwish/) - [Stephan Vogel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/stephan-vogel/) - [Yonatan Belinkov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yonatan-belinkov/) ## More papers in the library (6) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [Can Dialects Be Steered Like Languages?
