# Greek-Lesbian Morphosyntactic Model (Stanza + Greek BERT)
This repository hosts a morphosyntactic model trained using [Stanza](https://stanfordnlp.github.io/stanza/) and fine-tuned with [Greek BERT](https://huggingface.co/nlpaueb/bert-base-greek-uncased-v1) for the **Lesbian dialect of Greek** (spoken on the island of Lesbos). The model has been trained and evaluated on a small, curated treebank of 540 sentences (500 for training, 30 for testing, 10 for development).
The model aims to support part-of-speech tagging, morphological analysis, and dependency parsing for dialectal Greek and is part of a broader effort to document and process regional language varieties.
## 📚 Dataset
The treebank is a manually annotated resource compiled from both **oral** and **written** sources. Oral data were collected between 2023 and 2024 from speakers in various villages of Lesbos:
* **Agra** (Male speaker)
* **Chidira** (Female speaker)
* **Eressos** (Male speaker)
* **Pterounta** (Female speaker)
* **Mesotopos** (Male speaker)
* **Parakoila** (Female speaker)
Written sources include:
* Papanis, D. & Papanis, G. D. (2004). *Lexiko tou Agiasotikou Glosikou Idiomatos*
* Tsokarou-Mitsioni, E. (1998). *Palies Istories ap' tn Agiasiou*

## 🧠 Model Architecture
* **Base pipeline**: Stanza (v1.7.0+)
* **Pretrained LM**: [Greek BERT](https://huggingface.co/nlpaueb/bert-base-greek-uncased-v1)
* **Tasks**: Tokenization, Lemmatization, POS tagging, Morphological features, Dependency parsing
* **Fine-tuning**: Conducted on the UD\_Greek-Lesbian treebank
## 📈 Performance
Due to the limited size of the training data, the model should be considered **experimental**. It is optimized for research purposes and performs best on dialectal content similar to the training sources. Further fine-tuning and larger datasets will be necessary for production use.
