| Challenge: | In this paper, we isolate the task of predicting a fully inflected sentence from its partially lemmatized version. |
| Approach: | They propose a task that requires morphological features to be inferred from sentential context . they propose morphology-based models that explicitly reconstruct morphologic features before predicting inflected forms . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is able to predict inflected sentences without relying on morphological annotations. |
