From Grammar Rule Extraction to Treebanking: A Bootstrapping Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Most of the reliable language resources are developed via human supervision. Developing supervised annotated data is hard and tedious, and it will be very time consuming when it is done totally manually; as a result, various types of annotated data, including treebanks, are not available for many languages. Considering that a portion of the language is regular, we can define regular expressions as grammar rules to recognize the strings which match the regular expressions, and reduce the human effort to annotate further unseen data. In this paper, we propose an incremental bootstrapping approach via extracting grammar rules when no treebank is available in the first step. Since Persian suffers from lack of available data sources, we have applied our method to develop a treebank for this language. Our experiment shows that this approach significantly decreases the amount of manual effort in the annotation process while enlarging the treebank.

Arabic Tweets Treebanking and Parsing: A Bootstrapping Approach
In this paper, we propose using a ”bootstrapping” method for constructing a dependency treebank of Arabic tweets. This method uses a rule-based parser to create a small treebank of one thousand Arabic tweets and a data-driven parser to create a larger treebank by using the small treebank as a seed training set. We are able to create a dependency treebank from unlabelled tweets without any manua...
متن کاملOn the Need to Bootstrap Ontology Learning with Extraction Grammar Learning
The main claim of this paper is that machine learning can help integrate the construction of ontologies and extraction grammars and lead us closer to the Semantic Web vision. The proposed approach is a bootstrapping process that combines ontology and grammar learning, in order to semi-automate the knowledge acquisition process. After providing a survey of the most relevant work towards this goa...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Conditional Random Field-based Named Entity Recognition using Persian Specific Features
Named Entity Recognition is an information extraction technique that identifies name entities in a text. Three popular methods have been conventionally used namely: rule-based, machine-learning-based and hybrid of them to extract named entities from a text. Machine-learning-based methods have good performance in the Persian language if they are trained with good features. To get good performanc...
متن کاملBootstrapping an Ontology-based Information Extraction System
Automatic intelligent web exploration will benefit from shallow information extraction techniques if the latter can be brought to work within many different domains. The major bottleneck for this, however, lies in the so far difficult and expensive modeling of lexical knowledge, extraction rules, and an ontology that together define the information extraction system. In this paper we present a ...

We present a method of applying a broad-coverage LFG grammar of German in the process of semi-automatic lexicon acquisition from corpora. The identification of corpus instances that illustrate a certain subcategorization frame uniquely is done by a comparison of the numbers of analyses the grammar assigns to the corpus instances, under the assumption of different hypothetical lexicon entries fo...
