Low-Resource Active Learning of North Sámi Morphological Segmentation

Many Uralic languages have a rich morphological structure, but lack tools of morphological analysis needed for efficient language processing. While creating a high-quality morphological analyzer requires a significant amount of expert labor, data-driven approaches may provide sufficient quality for...
