+# 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)

+
+## 🧠 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.
