KoParadigm: A Korean Conjugation Paradigm Generator
This provides a tool for linguists and NLP practitioners working with Korean, though it is incremental as it applies existing computational methods to a new language-specific problem.
The authors tackled the challenge of constructing comprehensive conjugation paradigms for Korean verbs, which are morphologically complex, by introducing KoParadigm, a generator that covers all contemporary Korean verbs and endings and is computationally efficient.
Korean is a morphologically rich language. Korean verbs change their forms in a fickle manner depending on tense, mood, speech level, meaning, etc. Therefore, it is challenging to construct comprehensive conjugation paradigms of Korean verbs. In this paper we introduce a Korean (verb) conjugation paradigm generator, dubbed KoParadigm. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first Korean conjugation module that covers all contemporary Korean verbs and endings. KoParadigm is not only linguistically well established, but also computationally simple and efficient. We share it via PyPi.
