Lesbian Greek Morphosyntactic Parser

A Hugging Face Space for parsing dialectal Greek text from the island of Lesbos using the Lesbian Greek Morphosyntactic Model developed by Bompolas et al. (2025).

Overview

This interactive parser provides morphosyntactic analysis for the Lesbian dialect of Greek, offering:

• Part-of-speech tagging
• Morphological analysis
• Dependency parsing
• Lemmatization
• CoNLL-U format output

Model Details

The underlying model is based on:

• Stanza v1.7.0+ as the base pipeline
• Greek BERT (nlpaueb/bert-base-greek-uncased-v1) for enhanced representations
• UD_Greek-Lesbian treebank for training (540 sentences)

Training Data Sources

Oral Data (collected 2023-2024):

• Speakers from Agra, Chidira, Eressos, Pterounta, Mesotopos, and Parakoila villages on Lesbos

Written Sources:

• Papanis, D. & Papanis, G. D. (2004). Lexiko tou Agiasotikou Glosikou Idiomatos
• Tsokarou-Mitsioni, E. (1998). Palies Istories ap' tn Agiasiou
• Tsokarou-Mitsioni, E. (2019). Prosfygiá
• Anagnostopoulou, M. A. (2021). Thematiko Lexiko tis Lesviakis Dialektou
• Anagnostou, V. T. (2014). Tsi sta th'ka mas: Komodia sta k'stariot'ka

Features

📊 CoNLL-U Output

Standard Universal Dependencies format for interoperability with linguistic tools

📈 Interactive Data Table

Browse parsed tokens with all linguistic features (POS, morphology, dependencies)

🔗 Dependency Visualization

Text-based visualization showing syntactic relationships between words

🏛️ Dialectal Specialization

Optimized specifically for the Lesbian dialect of Greek

Usage

1. Enter your Lesbian Greek text in the input field
2. Click "Parse Lesbian Greek Text" or press Enter
3. View results in three formats:
   • Raw CoNLL-U output (copyable)
   • Interactive data table
   • Dependency structure visualization

Example Texts

The interface includes example texts based on the dialectal sources used in training:

• Το παιδί κάθεται στο σπίτι.
• Η μάνα μαγειρεύει στην κουζίνα.
• Το νερό τρέχει απ' τη βρύση.
• Οι παππούδες λένε παλιές ιστορίες.

Limitations

• Experimental model: Due to limited training data (540 sentences)
• Domain-specific: Optimized for dialectal content similar to training sources
• Research purposes: Further fine-tuning needed for production use
