Statistical Analysis of Turkish

Funding Agency: Bogazici University Research Fund, BAP (Project 02A107)

Project Manager: Tunga Güngör

Dates: 2002-2003

In this project, the new approach of statistical processing of natural languages was applied to Turkish. At the time, research on this subject was being conducted with some common languages; however, no such study existed for Turkish yet.

Based on a comprehensive literature review conducted by the project members, an infrastructure for statistical processing of Turkish was created and a program was developed. The design, implementation and testing of the program were completed, laying the groundwork for future statistical NLP research in Turkish.
