A multilingual collection of CoNLL-U-compatible morphological lexicons

Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2018)

Abstract

We introduce UDLexicons, a multilingual collection of morphological lexicons that follow the guidelines and format of the Universal Dependencies initiative. We describe the three approaches we use to create 53 morphological lexicons covering 38 languages, based on existing resources. These lexicons, which are freely available, have already proven useful for improving part-of-speech tagging accuracy in state-of-the-art architectures.
