| | ## 6. Morphological Analysis (Experimental) |
| | |
| | This section presents an automated morphological analysis derived from the statistical divergence between word-level and subword-level models. By analyzing where subword predictability spikes and where word-level coverage fails, we can infer linguistic structures without supervised data. |
| | |
| | ### 6.1 Productivity & Complexity |
| | |
| | | Metric | Value | Interpretation | Recommendation | |
| | |--------|-------|----------------|----------------| |
| | | Productivity Index | **5.000** | High morphological productivity | Reliable analysis | |
| | | Idiomaticity Gap | **0.190** | Low formulaic content | - | |
| | |
| | ### 6.2 Affix Inventory (Productive Units) |
| | |
| | These are the most productive prefixes and suffixes identified by sampling the vocabulary for global substitutability patterns. A unit is considered an affix if stripping it leaves a valid stem that appears in other contexts. |
| | |

| | ### 6.3 Bound Stems (Lexical Roots) |
| | |
| | Bound stems are high-frequency subword units that are semantically cohesive but rarely appear as standalone words. These often correspond to the 'core' of a word that requires inflection or derivation to be valid. |
| | |
| | | Stem | Cohesion | Substitutability | Examples | |
| | |------|----------|------------------|----------| |
| | | `رلری` | 2.05x | 205 contexts | یرلری, ارلری, خطرلری | |
| | | `اقلا` | 1.90x | 131 contexts | ناقلا, اقلایس, داقلاس | |
| | | `یبدی` | 2.33x | 31 contexts | ییبدیر, گلیبدی, آلیبدی | |
| | | `قلار` | 2.01x | 54 contexts | حقلاری, لیقلار, حاقلار | |

| | ## Appendix: Metrics Glossary & Interpretation Guide |
| | |
| | This section provides definitions, intuitions, and guidance for interpreting the metrics used throughout this report. |
| | |
| | ### Tokenizer Metrics |
| | |
| | **Compression Ratio** |
| | > *Definition:* The ratio of characters to tokens (chars/token). Measures how efficiently the tokenizer represents text. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Higher compression means fewer tokens needed to represent the same text, reducing sequence lengths for downstream models. A 3x compression means ~3 characters per token on average. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Higher is generally better for efficiency, but extremely high compression may indicate overly aggressive merging that loses morphological information. |
| | |
| | **Average Token Length (Fertility)** |
| | > *Definition:* Mean number of characters per token produced by the tokenizer. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Reflects the granularity of tokenization. Longer tokens capture more context but may struggle with rare words; shorter tokens are more flexible but increase sequence length. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Balance between 2-5 characters for most languages. Arabic/morphologically-rich languages may benefit from slightly longer tokens. |
| | |
| | **Unknown Token Rate (OOV Rate)** |
| | > *Definition:* Percentage of tokens that map to the unknown/UNK token, indicating words the tokenizer cannot represent. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Lower OOV means better vocabulary coverage. High OOV indicates the tokenizer encounters many unseen character sequences. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Below 1% is excellent; below 5% is acceptable. BPE tokenizers typically achieve very low OOV due to subword fallback. |
| | |
| | ### N-gram Model Metrics |
| | |
| | **Perplexity** |
| | > *Definition:* Measures how "surprised" the model is by test data. Mathematically: 2^(cross-entropy). Lower values indicate better prediction. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* If perplexity is 100, the model is as uncertain as if choosing uniformly among 100 options at each step. A perplexity of 10 means effectively choosing among 10 equally likely options. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Lower is better. Perplexity decreases with larger n-grams (more context). Values vary widely by language and corpus size. |
| | |
| | **Entropy** |
| | > *Definition:* Average information content (in bits) needed to encode the next token given the context. Related to perplexity: perplexity = 2^entropy. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* High entropy means high uncertainty/randomness; low entropy means predictable patterns. Natural language typically has entropy between 1-4 bits per character. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Lower entropy indicates more predictable text patterns. Entropy should decrease as n-gram size increases. |
| | |
| | **Coverage (Top-K)** |
| | > *Definition:* Percentage of corpus occurrences explained by the top K most frequent n-grams. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* High coverage with few patterns indicates repetitive/formulaic text; low coverage suggests diverse vocabulary usage. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Depends on use case. For language modeling, moderate coverage (40-60% with top-1000) is typical for natural text. |
| | |
| | ### Markov Chain Metrics |
| | |
| | **Average Entropy** |
| | > *Definition:* Mean entropy across all contexts, measuring average uncertainty in next-word prediction. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Lower entropy means the model is more confident about what comes next. Context-1 has high entropy (many possible next words); Context-4 has low entropy (few likely continuations). |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Decreasing entropy with larger context sizes. Very low entropy (<0.1) indicates highly deterministic transitions. |
| | |
| | **Branching Factor** |
| | > *Definition:* Average number of unique next tokens observed for each context. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* High branching = many possible continuations (flexible but uncertain); low branching = few options (predictable but potentially repetitive). |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Branching factor should decrease with context size. Values near 1.0 indicate nearly deterministic chains. |
| | |
| | **Predictability** |
| | > *Definition:* Derived metric: (1 - normalized_entropy) × 100%. Indicates how deterministic the model's predictions are. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* 100% predictability means the next word is always certain; 0% means completely random. Real text falls between these extremes. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Higher predictability for text generation quality, but too high (>98%) may produce repetitive output. |
| |
|
| | ### Vocabulary & Zipf's Law Metrics |
| |
|
| | **Zipf's Coefficient** |
| | > *Definition:* The slope of the log-log plot of word frequency vs. rank. Zipf's law predicts this should be approximately -1. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* A coefficient near -1 indicates the corpus follows natural language patterns where a few words are very common and most words are rare. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Values between -0.8 and -1.2 indicate healthy natural language distribution. Deviations may suggest domain-specific or artificial text. |
| |
|
| | **R² (Coefficient of Determination)** |
| | > *Definition:* Measures how well the linear fit explains the frequency-rank relationship. Ranges from 0 to 1. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* R² near 1.0 means the data closely follows Zipf's law; lower values indicate deviation from expected word frequency patterns. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* R² > 0.95 is excellent; > 0.99 indicates near-perfect Zipf adherence typical of large natural corpora. |
| |
|
| | **Vocabulary Coverage** |
| | > *Definition:* Cumulative percentage of corpus tokens accounted for by the top N words. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Shows how concentrated word usage is. If top-100 words cover 50% of text, the corpus relies heavily on common words. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Top-100 covering 30-50% is typical. Higher coverage indicates more repetitive text; lower suggests richer vocabulary. |
| |
|
| | ### Word Embedding Metrics |
| |
|
| | **Isotropy** |
| | > *Definition:* Measures how uniformly distributed vectors are in the embedding space. Computed as the ratio of minimum to maximum singular values. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* High isotropy (near 1.0) means vectors spread evenly in all directions; low isotropy means vectors cluster in certain directions, reducing expressiveness. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Higher isotropy generally indicates better-quality embeddings. Values > 0.1 are reasonable; > 0.3 is good. Lower-dimensional embeddings tend to have higher isotropy. |
| |
|
| | **Average Norm** |
| | > *Definition:* Mean magnitude (L2 norm) of word vectors in the embedding space. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Indicates the typical "length" of vectors. Consistent norms suggest stable training; high variance may indicate some words are undertrained. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Relatively consistent norms across models. The absolute value matters less than consistency (low std deviation). |
| |
|
| | **Cosine Similarity** |
| | > *Definition:* Measures angular similarity between vectors, ranging from -1 (opposite) to 1 (identical direction). |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Words with similar meanings should have high cosine similarity. This is the standard metric for semantic relatedness in embeddings. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Semantically related words should score > 0.5; unrelated words should be near 0. Synonyms often score > 0.7. |
| |
|
| | **t-SNE Visualization** |
| | > *Definition:* t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding - a dimensionality reduction technique that preserves local structure for visualization. |
| | > |
| | > *Intuition:* Clusters in t-SNE plots indicate groups of semantically related words. Spread indicates vocabulary diversity; tight clusters suggest semantic coherence. |
| | > |
| | > *What to seek:* Meaningful clusters (e.g., numbers together, verbs together). Avoid over-interpreting distances - t-SNE preserves local, not global, structure. |
| |
|
| | ### General Interpretation Guidelines |
| |
|
| | 1. **Compare within model families:** Metrics are most meaningful when comparing models of the same type (e.g., 8k vs 64k tokenizer). |
| | 2. **Consider trade-offs:** Better performance on one metric often comes at the cost of another (e.g., compression vs. OOV rate). |
| | 3. **Context matters:** Optimal values depend on downstream tasks. Text generation may prioritize different metrics than classification. |
| | 4. **Corpus influence:** All metrics are influenced by corpus characteristics. Wikipedia text differs from social media or literature. |
| | 5. **Language-specific patterns:** Morphologically rich languages (like Arabic) may show different optimal ranges than analytic languages. |
