Quantitative parameters in corpus design: Estimating the optimum text size in Modern Greek language
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to investigate the major quantitative parameters related to the definition of the optimum text size in Modern Greek corpus development. Using the Hellenic National Corpus (HNC) (Hatzigeorgiu et al., 2000) as a reference point we estimated a number of critical statistical measures regarding feature counting in different text sizes. The results indicate that frequent linguistic features behave differently from the medium frequency and the rare ones and the text size increase do not affect them uniformly.

متن کاملCorpus based coreference resolution for Farsi text
"Coreference resolution" or "finding all expressions that refer to the same entity" in a text, is one of the important requirements in natural language processing. Two words are coreference when both refer to a single entity in the text or the real world. So the main task of coreference resolution systems is to identify terms that refer to a unique entity. A coreference resolution tool could be...
متن کاملDiscovering Collocations in Modern Greek Language
In this paper two statistical methods for extracting collocations from text corpora written in Modern Greek are described, the mean and variance method and a method based on the X test. The mean and variance method calculates distances (“offsets”) between words in a corpus and looks for specific patterns of distance. The X test is combined with the formulation of a null hypothesis H0 for a samp...
