Abstract: 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.
