Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |
2008

Abstract

In the paper, we present a software tool Affisix for automatic recognition of prefixes. On the basis of an extensive list of words in a language, it determines the segments - candidates for prefixes.

There are two methods implemented for the recognition - the entropy method and the squares method. We briefly describe the methods, propose their improvements and present the results of experiments with Czech.
