Extracting Collocations from Text Corpora
نویسنده
چکیده
A collocation is a habitual word combination. Collocational knowledge is essential for many tasks in natural language processing. We present a method for extracting collocations from text corpora. By comparison with the SUSANNE corpus, we show that both high precision and broad coverage can be achieved with our method. Finally, we describe an application of the automatically extracted collocations for computing word similarities.

Retrieving Domain-Specific Collocations by Co-occurrences and Word Order Constraints
In this paper, we describe a method for automatically retrieving collocations from large text corpora. This method comprises the following stages: (1) extracting strings of characters as units of collocations, and (2) extracting recurrent combinations of strings as collocations. Through this method, various types of domain-specific collocations can be retrieved simultaneously. This method is pr...

متن کاملExtracting collocations and their translations from parallel corpora
Identifying collocations in a text (e.g., break record) and correctly translating them (battre record vs. *casser record) represent key issues in machine translation, notably because of their prevalence in language and their syntactic flexibility. This article describes a method for discovering translation equivalents for collocations from parallel corpora, aimed at increasing the lexical cover...

متن کاملExtracting Bilingual Collocations from Non-Aligned Parallel Corpora
This paper proposes a new method to find correspondences of uninterrupted collocations from Japanese-English bilingual corpora without sentence-to-sentence alignment. Uninterrupted collocations in English such as “once again”, “give up”, or “gross national product” handled as a single word or a compound word in Japanese, can be automatically extracted with corresponding Japanese words using wor...
