Tools for Semi-automatic Assignment of Czech Nouns to Declination Patterns

In this paper, we present tools for semi-automatic assignment of Czech nouns to declination patterns. First, we explain the reasons for development of such tools and then we describe the structure of the system in detail. It is based on a decision tree that consists of questions and answers allowing to distinguish particular declination patterns. Finally, we provide basic statistic data that clarify the relation between the patterns we developed and the classical ones.
