Multi-dimensional register classification using bigrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
A corpus linguistic analysis investigated register classification using frequency of bigrams in nine spoken and two written corpora. Four dimensions emerged from a factor analysis using bigram frequencies shared across corpora: (1) Scripted vs. Unscripted Discourse, (2) Deliberate vs. Unplanned Discourse, (3) Spatial vs. Non-Spatial Discourse, and (4) Directional vs. Non-Directional Discourse. These findings were replicated in a second analysis. Both analyses demonstrate the strength of bigrams for classifying spoken and written registers, especially in locating distinct collocations among spoken corpora, as well as revealing syntactic and discourse features through a data-driven approach.

3D Classification of Urban Features Based on Integration of Structural and Spectral Information from UAV Imagery
Three-dimensional classification of urban features is one of the important tools for urban management and the basis of many analyzes in photogrammetry and remote sensing. Therefore, it is applied in many applications such as planning, urban management and disaster management. In this study, dense point clouds extracted from dense image matching is applied for classification in urban areas. Appl...
متن کاملCombining Unigrams and Bigrams in Semi-Supervised Text Classification
Unlabeled documents vastly outnumber labeled documents in text classification. For this reason, semi-supervised learning is well suited to the task. Representing text as a combination of unigrams and bigrams has not shown consistent improvements compared to using unigrams in supervised text classification. Therefore, a natural question is whether this finding extends to semi-supervised learning...

This paper presents a comparative study of different methods for the identification of multiword expressions, applied to a Brazilian Portuguese corpus. First, we selected the candidates based on the frequency of bigrams. Second, we used the linguistic information based on the grammatical classes of the words forming the bigrams, together with the frequency information in order to compare the pe...
متن کاملAutomatic Collocation Extraction and Classification of Automatically Obtained Bigrams
This paper focuses on automatic determination of the distributional preferences of words in Russian. We present the comparison of six different measures for collocation extraction, part of which are widely known, while others are less prominent or new. For these metrics we evaluate the semantic stability of automatically obtained bigrams beginning with singletoken prepositions. Manual annotatio...
متن کاملUsing Bigrams in Text Categorization
In the past decade a sufficient effort has been expended on attempting to come up with a document representation which is richer than the simple Bag-Of-Words (BOW). One of the widely explored approaches to enrich the BOW representation is in using n-grams (usually bigrams) of words in addition to (or in place of) single words (unigrams). After more than ten years of unsuccessful attempts to imp...
