Morphological predictability of unseen words using computational analogy

We address the problem of predicting unseen words by relying on the organization of the vocabulary of a language as exhibited by paradigm tables. We present a pipeline to automatically produce paradigm tables from all the words contained in a text. We measure how many unseen words from an unseen test text can be predicted using the paradigm tables obtained from a training text. Experiments are carried out in several languages to compare the morphological richness of languages, and also the richness of the vocabulary of different authors.
