## Papers

1. **[Modeling Morphosyntactic Agreement in Constituency-Based Parsing of Modern Hebrew](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2010-tsarfaty-modeling-morphosyntactic-agreement-constituency-based/)** *(2010)* The question is whether agreement features (gender, number, person, definiteness, accusativity) help a statistical parser of Hebrew, and how they should be represented.
2. **[Smoothing a Lexicon-based POS Tagger for Arabic and Hebrew](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2007-manour-smoothing-lexicon-based-pos-tagger/)** *(2007)* The authors port Bar-Haim et al.'s Hebrew HMM tagger (MorphTagger) to Modern Standard Arabic by swapping in Buckwalter's analyser and training on the Arabic Treebank.
3. **[Choosing an Optimal Architecture for Segmentation and POS-Tagging of Modern Hebrew](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2005-haim-choosing-optimal-architecture-segmentation-pos/)** *(2005)* Bar-Haim et al. build an HMM segmenter and POS tagger for Modern Hebrew from a morphological analyser and a very small tagged corpus (the Hebrew Treebank, from Ha'aretz, with under 30K words per training fold), plus about 340K untagged words. They compare two tokenisations: a word-level model, where each tag is a…
