Turkish Language Resources

This post contains links to various Turkish language resources that I have collected. Please send a comment if you find Turkish resources that you would like to see on this page.

Turkish Data Depository (TDD)

Our new website that we hope will act as a central location for all computational resources and models for Turkish. Most resources listed below and more will be found there.

ITU Turkish Natural Language Processing Pipeline

This webpage provides the Turkish NLP Tools and API developed in Istanbul Technical University by our Natural Language Processing group led by Asst. Prof. Dr. Gülşen Eryiğit including a Tokenizer, Normalization tools, Deasciifier, Vocalizer, Spelling Corrector, Turkish word detector, Morphological Analyzer, Morphological Disambiguator, Named Entity Recognizer, and Dependency Parser.

TS Corpus

Taner Sezer's TS Corpus is a 491M token general purpose Turkish corpus. See comments below for details.

BounWebCorpus

Hasim Sak's page contains some useful Turkish language resources and code in addition to a large web corpus. (2021-08-26: link broken)

Bibliography

Özgür Yılmazel's Bibliography on Turkish Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing.

tr-disamb.tgz

Turkish morphological disambiguator code. Slow but 96% accurate. See Learning morphological disambiguation rules for Turkish for the theory.

correctparses_03.txt.gz, train.merge.gz

Turkish morphology training files. Semi-automatically tagged, has limited accuracy. Two files have the same data except the second file also includes the ambiguous parses (the first parse on each line is correct). A newer version can be found in TrMor2006.

test.1.2.dis.gz, test.merge.gz

Turkish morphology test files, second one includes ambiguous parses (the first parse on each line is correct). The data is hand tagged, it has good accuracy. A newer version can be found in TrMor2006.

tr-tagger.tgz

Turkish morphological tagger, includes Oflazer's finite state machines for Turkish. From Kemal Oflazer. Please use with permission. Requires the publically available Xerox Finite State software. For a better tagger use Morse.

turklex.tgz, pc_kimmo.tgz

Turkish morphology rules for PC-Kimmo by Kemal Oflazer. Older implementation. Originally from www.cs.cmu.edu

en-tr.zip, lm.tr.gz

Turkish English parallel text from Kemal Oflazer, Statistical Machine Translation into a Morphologically Complex Language, Invited Paper, In Proceedings of CICLING 2008 -- Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics, Haifa, Israel, February 2008 (lowercased and converted to utf8). The Turkish part of the dataset is "selectively split", i.e. some suffixes are separated from their stems, some are not. lm.tr.gz is the Turkish text used to develop the language model.
