Investigating classification for natural language processing tasks
This thesis investigates the application of classification techniques to four natural language processing (NLP) tasks. The classification paradigm falls within the family of statistical and machine learning (ML) methods and consists of a framework within which a mechanical ‘learner’ induces a functional mapping between elements drawn from a particular sample space and a set of designated target...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing Annotation for Machine Learning in Natural Language Processing Tasks
Human annotators are critical for creating the necessary datasets to train statistical learners, but annotation cost and limited access to qualified annotators forms a data bottleneck. In recent years, researchers have investigated overcoming this obstacle using crowdsourcing, which is the delegation of a particular task to a large group of untrained individuals rather than a select trained few...
متن کاملLearning Representations for Weakly Supervised Natural Language Processing Tasks
Finding the right representations for words is critical for building accurate NLP systems when domain-specific labeled data for the task is scarce. This article investigates novel techniques for extracting features from n-gram models, Hidden Markov Models, and other statistical language models, including a novel Partial Lattice Markov Random Field model. Experiments on partof-speech tagging and...
متن کاملConvolution Kernels with Feature Selection for Natural Language Processing Tasks
Convolution kernels, such as sequence and tree kernels, are advantageous for both the concept and accuracy of many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Experiments have, however, shown that the over-fitting problem often arises when these kernels are used in NLP tasks. This paper discusses this issue of convolution kernels, and then proposes a new approach based on statistical feature selec...
متن کاملEvaluation of Machine Learning Methods for Natural Language Processing Tasks
We show that the methodology currently in use for comparing symbolic supervised learning methods applied to human language technology tasks is unreliable. We show that the interaction between algorithm parameter settings and feature selection within a single algorithm often accounts for a higher variation in results than differences between different algorithms or information sources. We illust...
