MoirfEolas and CríochScore: Developing Resources for and the Evaluation of Tokenization Alignment with Irish Morphology
This paper presents new tokenization resources for Irish and evaluation measures of alignment with the morphological boundaries of the language. We present MoirfEolas, a dataset of over 35,000 Irish words mapped to their respective eclipses, prefixes and suffixes as well as an evaluation metric CríochScore, that evaluates the alignment of tokenizations with the morphological boundaries present in MoirfEolas. We evaluate common tokenization algorithms using CríochScore as well as intrinsic metrics present in the tokenization literature. We find that the Unigram Language Model aligns with Irish morphology more often than the other algorithms evaluated. We also find trade-offs between morpho...
