From b79bb64533b60d23dcc6cede2d24fce3ae40aeda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ada=20=C3=87=C4=B1nar?= Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 01:34:13 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: Add vowel harmony validator for suffix stripping (#52) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Changes ### Rust Core (src/lib.rs) - ✅ Add vowel harmony validation functions: - is_back_vowel() / is_front_vowel() - get_last_vowel() / get_first_vowel() - check_vowel_harmony() - validates backness harmony - check_vowel_harmony_py() - Python API wrapper - ✅ Update strip_suffixes() to respect vowel harmony: - Prevents false positives (e.g., 'kitapler' with a-e mismatch) - Maintains min stem length constraint (>= 2 chars) - Recursive stripping validates harmony at each step ### Tests - ✅ 14 Rust unit tests (all passing): - Vowel detection (back/front) - Vowel extraction (first/last) - Harmony validation (valid/invalid cases) - Suffix stripping with harmony constraints - Edge cases (no vowels, short stems, recursion) - ✅ 7 Python integration tests (added): - check_vowel_harmony_py() API tests - Lemmatizer harmony validation - Recursive stripping with harmony ## Linguistic Background Turkish suffixes follow strict vowel harmony: - **Backness harmony**: Suffix vowel must match stem's last vowel - Back vowels: a, ı, o, u - Front vowels: e, i, ö, ü Examples: - ✅ kitap + lar → Valid (a-a harmony) - ✅ ev + ler → Valid (e-e harmony) - ❌ kitap + ler → Invalid (a-e mismatch) - ❌ ev + lar → Invalid (e-a mismatch) ## Impact - Improves morphological analysis accuracy - Prevents over-stripping in heuristic lemmatizer - Foundation for future morphological analyzer - Exposes harmony checker to Python API for research use Closes #52 --- src/lib.rs |
