2 paper cards in Mova's library · 2019–2025

Stav Klein wrote 2 of the papers Mova reads, in 2019–2025, most of them on Akkadian and cuneiform NLP; often with Aleksi Sahala, Amit Seker, Reut Tsarfaty.

The profile is the library's match of the name; two people with one name are not always told apart.

Ideas Mova took (1)

From the ideas ledger: an idea tried, kept or queued, or measured with no gain, and what it gave.

measured, no gain — Keep the lattice: let tools/hbo output every segmentation candidate of a token, with its tag and lemma per arc, and pass the whole lattice to gparse, so that the parser can choose the segmentation that fits the tree. (What's Wrong with Hebrew NLP? And How to Make it Right · lattice in tools/hbo (hbo lattice / gparse GP_SCORE / hbo choose): the tree score does not pick the gold split (gold candidate +0.13 mean tree gain vs -0.41…)

EvaCun 2025 Shared Task: Lemmatization and Token Prediction in Akkadian and Sumerian using LLMs (2025)
The shared task asks for two things on cuneiform text: lemmatization (the base form of each word) and token prediction (filling a masked word from its context).
What's Wrong with Hebrew NLP? And How to Make it Right (2019)
The paper presents ONLP (YAP), an open system for Modern Hebrew that does segmentation, POS tagging, lemmas, features and labelled dependencies in one package.
