This paper compares a range of methods
for classifying words based on linguistic
diagnostics, focusing on the task of
learning countabilities for English nouns.
We propose two basic approaches to
feature representation: distribution-based
representation, which simply looks at
the distribution of features in the corpus
data, and agreement-based representation
which analyses the level of tokenwise
agreement between multiple preprocessor
systems. We additionally compare
a single multiclass classifier architecture
with a suite of binary classifiers,
and combine analyses from multiple preprocessors.
Finally, we present and evaluate
a feature selection method. |
