Forging Agreement: Morphological Disambiguation of Noun Phrases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper argues that morphological disambiguation is a crucial step for assignment of dependency structures. Quantitative evaluation on a German corpus shows that morphological disambiguation of NPs together with syntactic heuristics yields unique morphological analyses for the assignment of dependency relations to German NPs in 77.08% of all cases.

Integration of Semantic and Syntactic Constraints for Structural Noun Phrase Disambiguation
A fundamental problem in Natural Language Processing is the integration of syntactic and semantic constraints. In this paper we describe a new approach for the integration of syntactic and semantic constraints which takes advantage of a learned memory model. Our model combines localist representations for the integration of constraints and distributed representations for learning semantic const...

متن کاملClassifying Unknown Proper Noun Phrases Without Context
We present a probabilistic generative model used to classify unknown Proper Noun Phrases into semantic categories. The core of the classifier is an n-gram character model, which is enhanced with an n-gram word-length model and a common word model. While most work has depended largely on context or domain-specific rules for semantic disambiguation of unknown names, we demonstrate that there is s...

The definite article shows some morphological and distributional characteristics distinct from languages such as English and German, which makes it difficult to directly apply the methods proposed fo...
متن کاملA Two-Rule Analysis of Measure Noun Phrases
In this paper we present an analysis of English measure noun phrases. Measure noun phrases exhibit both distributional idiosyncrasy, in that they appear in positions normally filled by degree adverbs: a ten inch long string; and agreement discord: ten inches is enough, it is ten inch/*inches long. The analysis introduces one idiosyncratic construction, the Measure Phrase Rule, which links toget...
