We describe the use of energy function optimisation in very shallow syntactic parsing. The approach can use linguistic rules and corpus-based statistics, so the strengths of both ...
This paper presents a comparative evaluation of several state-of-the-art English parsers based on different frameworks. Our approach is to measure the impact of each parser when i...
Prepositions in English are a well-known challenge for language learners, and the computational analysis of preposition usage has attracted significant attention. Such research ge...
We study the problem of combining the outcomes of several different classifiers in a way that provides a coherent inference that satisfies some constraints. In particular, we deve...
Chunk parsing has focused on the recognition of partial constituent structures at the level of individual chunks. Little attention has been paid to the question of how such partia...
