PP-Attachment Disambiguation Boosted by a Gigantic Volume of Unambiguous Examples

چکیده
We present a PP-attachment disambiguation method based on a gigantic volume of unambiguous examples extracted from raw corpus. The unambiguous examples are utilized to acquire precise lexical preferences for PP-attachment disambiguation. Attachment decisions are made by a machine learning method that optimizes the use of the lexical preferences. Our experiments indicate that the precise lexical preferences work effectively.

An Example-Based Disambiguation of Prepositional Phrase Attachment
Spoken language translation is a challenging new application that differs from written language translation in several ways, for instance, 1) human intervention (pre-edit or post-edit) should be avoided; 2) a real-time response is desirable for success. Example-based approaches meet these requirements, that is, they realize accurate structural disambiguation and target word selection, and respo...
متن کاملA Flexible Unsupervised PP-Attachment Method Using Semantic Information
In this paper we revisit the classical NLP problem of prepositional phrase attachment (PPattachment). Given the pattern V −NP1−P−NP2 in the text, where V is verb,NP1 is a noun phrase, P is the preposition and NP2 is the other noun phrase, the question asked is where does P −NP2 attach: V or NP1? This question is typically answered using both the word and the world knowledge. Word Sense Disambig...
متن کاملCombining Unsupervised and Supervised Methods for PP Attachment Disambiguation
Statistical methods for PP attachment fall into two classes according to the training material used: first, unsupervised methods trained on raw text corpora and second, supervised methods trained on manually disambiguated examples. Usually supervised methods win over unsupervised methods with regard to attachment accuracy. But what if only small sets of manually disambiguated material are avail...

متن کاملHow bad is the problem of PP-attachment?
The correct attachment of prepositional phrases (PPs) is a central disambiguation problem in parsing natural languages. This paper compares the baseline situation in English, German and Swedish based on manual PP attachments in various treebanks for these languages. We argue that cross-language comparisons of the disambiguation results in previous research is impossible because of the different...
