    Tang,

    My earlier posting could be what you are looking for!
    - unsupervised learning of morphological analysers from corpus wordlists:

    The PASCAL MorphoChallenge contest results have just been published
    http://www.cis.hut.fi/morphochallenge2005/results.shtml

    - this includes descriptions (and accuracy) for a range of morphological
    analysers, take your pick! actually better scores was achieved by
    combining system outputs in a majority-voting system (Combinatory Hybrid
    Elementary
    Analysis of Text, a carefully-chosen acronym :-)

    These are unsupervised learning systems, which have the advantage of
    being adaptable to other languages - the contestants had to test their
    systems on Finnish and Turkish as well as English.

    PS why not come to the PASCAL Challenge Workshop in Venice, April 10-12?
