Abstract:In this paper, we presents the generation of Uyghur Noun Inflectional Suffix DFA for the purpose of morphological analysis. Because Uyghur language is an agglutinative language, morphological analysis is an essential task for Uyghur language processing. In Uyghur, the inflectional suffixes are affixed to the stem according to certain ordering rules, which paves the way for modellingthe morphological structure of Uyghur inflectional suffixes by Finite State Machines (FSMs). In this paper, we introduce the word formation structure of Uyghur noun, then construct a right to left ordered by using the inflectional suffix concatination rule, and finally invert it in reverse order and convert it into a DFA. Key wordsartificial intelligence; natural language processing; Uyghur; agglutinative; inflectional suffix; DFA; cowel harmony; stemming
