Title: | A plethora of methods for learning English countability | Authors: | Baldwin, Timothy Bond, Francis |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Humanities::Linguistics::Sociolinguistics::Computational linguistics | Issue Date: | 2003 | Source: | Baldwin, T., & Bond, F. (2003). A plethora of methods for learning English countability. Proceedings of 2003 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing: EMNLP 2003, 73-80. | Conference: | Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (2003) | 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. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/93871 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/6822 |
