A Hybrid Approach to Single and Multiple PP Attachment Using WordNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of prepositional phrase attachment is crucial to various natural language processing tasks and has received wide attention in the literature. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to disambiguate between PP attachment sites. The algorithm uses a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning along with the WordNet information, which is implemented using a back-off model. Our use of the available sources of lexical knowledge base in combination with large un-annotated corpora generalizes the existing algorithms with improved performance. The algorithm achieved average accuracy of 86.68% over three test data sets with 100% recall. It is further extended to deal with the multiple PP attachment problem using the training based on single PP attachment sites and showed improvement over the earlier works on multiple pp attachment.

The recommender systems are models that are to predict the potential interests of users among a number of items. These systems are widespread and they have many applications in real-world. These systems are generally based on one of two structural types: collaborative filtering and content filtering. There are some systems which are based on both of them. These systems are named hybrid recommen...
متن کاملPrepositional Phrase Attachment through Semantic Association using Connectionist Approach
Determining the correct attachment site for Prepositional Phrase (PP) is one of the major sources of ambiguity in natural language parsing and analysis. In this paper, we describe a neural network based approach to prepositional phrase attachment for natural language text. Our approach disambiguates the attachment site for PP through semantic association among the constituents namely verb, noun...

This paper discusses the integration of two different machine learning approaches to modeling language, NL-Soar and analogical modeling (AM). The resulting hybrid system is capable of functionality that is not possible when using only one of the systems in isolation. After a brief introduction of each system, an explanation is given of how AM is used to provide information useful to NL-Soar for...

In this paper we revisit the classical NLP problem of prepositional phrase attachment (PPattachment). Given the pattern V −NP1−P−NP2 in the text, where V is verb,NP1 is a noun phrase, P is the preposition and NP2 is the other noun phrase, the question asked is where does P −NP2 attach: V or NP1? This question is typically answered using both the word and the world knowledge. Word Sense Disambig...

A neurocomputational model based on emergent massively overlapping neural cell assemblies (CAs) for resolving prepositional phrase (PP) attachment ambiguity is described. PP attachment ambiguity is a well-studied task in natural language processing and is a case where semantics is used to determine the syntactic structure. A large network of biologically plausible fatiguing leaky integrate-and-...
