Corpus Statistics Meet the Noun Compound: Some Empirical Results
نویسنده
چکیده
A variety of statistical methods for noun compound analysis are implemented and compared. The results support two main conclusions. First, the use of conceptual association not only enables a broad coverage, but also improves the accuracy. Second, an analysis model based on dependency grammar is substantially more accurate than one based on deepest constituents, even though the latter is more prevalent in the literature.

متن کاملLarge-Scale Noun Compound Interpretation Using Bootstrapping and the Web as a Corpus
Responding to the need for semantic lexical resources in natural language processing applications, we examine methods to acquire noun compounds (NCs), e.g., orange juice, together with suitable fine-grained semantic interpretations, e.g., squeezed from, which are directly usable as paraphrases.

متن کاملUncovering Noun-Noun Compound Relations by Gamification
Can relations described by English nounnoun compounds be adequately captured by prepositions? We attempt to answer this question in a data-driven way, using gamification to annotate a set of about a thousand noun-noun compound examples. Annotators could make a choice out of five prepositions generated with the help of paraphrases found in the Google ngram corpus. We show that there is substanti...
متن کاملParadigmatic Modifiability Statistics for the Extraction of Complex Multi-Word Terms
We here propose a new method which sets apart domain-specific terminology from common non-specific noun phrases. It is based on the observation that terminological multi-word groups reveal a considerably lesser degree of distributional variation than non-specific noun phrases. We define a measure for the observable amount of paradigmatic modifiability of terms and, subsequently, test it on bigr...
