Extending a Broad-Coverage Parser for a General NLP Toolkit
With the rapid growth of real world applications for NLP systems, there is a genuine demand for a general toolkit from which programmers with no linguistic knowledge can build specific NLP systems. Such a toolkit should have a parser that is general enough to be used across domains, and yet accurate enough for each specific application. In this paper, we describe a parser that extends a broad-coverage parser, Minipar (Lin, 2001), with an adaptable shallow parser so as to achieve both generality and accuracy in handling domain specific NL problems. We test this parser on our corpus and the results show that the accuracy is significantly higher than a system that uses Minipar alone.
