Discovering Morphemic Suffixes a Case Study in MDL Induction
Abstract
This paper reports experiments in the automatic discovery of linguistically significant regularities in text. The minimum description length principle is exploited to evaluate linguistic hypotheses with respect to a corpus and a theory of the types of regularities to be found in it. The domain of inquiry in this paper is the discovery of morphemic suffixes such as English -ing and -ly, but the technique is widely applicable to language learning problems.
