The BGU-MeLeL System for the SIGMORPHON 2023 Shared Task on Morphological Inflection

Gal Astrach, Yuval Pinter


Abstract
This paper presents the submission by the MeLeL team to the SIGMORPHON–UniMorph Shared Task on Typologically Diverse and Acquisition-Inspired Morphological Inflection Generation Part 3: Models of Acquisition of Inflectional Noun Morphology in Polish, Estonian, and Finnish. This task requires us to produce the word form given a lemma and a grammatical case, while trying to produce the same error-rate as in children. We approach this task with a reduced-size character-based transformer model, multilingual training and an upsampling method to introduce bias.
