CIC-FBK Approach to Native Language Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the CIC-FBK system, which took part in the Native Language Identification (NLI) Shared Task 2017. Our approach combines features commonly used in previous NLI research, i.e., word n-grams, lemma n-grams, part-of-speech n-grams, and function words, with recently introduced character n-grams from misspelled words, and features that are novel in this task, such as typed character n-grams, and syntactic n-grams of words and of syntactic relation tags. We use log-entropy weighting scheme and perform classification using the Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm. Our system achieved 0.8808 macro-averaged F1-score and shared the 1st rank in the NLI Shared Task 2017 scoring.

Native Language Identification (NLI) is the process of identifying the native language of non-native speakers based on their speech or writing. It has several applications namely authorship profiling and identification, forensic analysis, second language identification, and educational applications. English is one of the prominent language used by most of the non-English people in the world. Th...

A common approach in text mining tasks such as text categorization, authorship identification or plagiarism detection is to rely on features like words, part-of-speech tags, stems, or some other high-level linguistic features. In this work, an approach that uses character n-grams as features is proposed for the task of native language identification. Instead of doing standard feature selection,...

In this paper, we describe the approach of the ItaliaNLP Lab team to native language identification and discuss the results we submitted as participants to the essay track of NLI Shared Task 2017. We introduce for the first time a 2-stacked sentencedocument architecture for native language identification that is able to exploit both local sentence information and a wide set of general–purpose f...

This paper presents our approach to the 2013 Native Language Identification shared task, which is based on machine learning methods that work at the character level. More precisely, we used several string kernels and a kernel based on Local Rank Distance (LRD). Actually, our best system was a kernel combination of string kernel and LRD. While string kernels have been used before in text analysi...
