Turkish Treebank Benchmarking

This is the repo for Turkish treebank benchmarking, namely evaluating Tranformer models on POS-Dep-Morph task. For the data, we used two treebank, IMST and BOUN. We converted conllu format to json lines for being compatible to HF dataset formats.

Here are treebank sizes at a glance:

Dataset	train lines	dev lines	test lines
BOUN	7803	979	979
IMST	3435	1100	1100

A typical instance from the dataset looks like:

  "id": "ins_1267",
  "tokens": [
    "Rüzgâr",
    "yine",
    "güçlü",
    "esiyor",

    "ADV",

  ],
  "text": "Rüzgâr yine güçlü esiyor du .",
  "feats_dict_json": [
    "{\"Case\":\"Nom\",\"Number\":\"Sing\",\"Person\":\"3\"}",
    "{}",
    "{}",
    "{\"Aspect\":\"Imp\",\"Polarity\":\"Pos\",\"VerbForm\":\"Part\"}",
    "{\"Aspect\":\"Perf\",\"Evident\":\"Fh\",\"Number\":\"Sing\",\"Person\":\"3\",\"Tense\":\"Past\"}",
    "{}"
  ]
}

Benchmarking

Benchmarking is done by scripts on accompanying Github repo. Please proceed to this repo for running the experiments. Here are the benchmarking results for BERTurk with our scripts:

Notes:

• — means that metric wasn’t present in that dataset’s reported results (e.g., morph_Typo_acc only in BOUN; morph_Polite_acc only in IMST).
