Abstract
This paper presents a resource-light acquisition of morphological paradigms and lexicon for fusional languages. It builds upon Paramor [10], an unsupervised system, by extending it: (1) to accept a small seed of manually provided word inflections with marked morpheme boundary; (2) to handle basic allomorphic changes acquiring the rules from the seed and/or from previously acquired paradigms.
The algorithm has been tested on Czech and Slovene tagged corpora and has shown increased F-measure in comparison with the Paramor baseline.
