In syntactic analysis of a long sentence, it is difficult to determine the dependency among clauses. To handle such syntactic ambiguity among clauses, this paper proposes a machine learning-based determination method of clause-dependency. We extract various features from clauses, and experiment using SVM machine learning algorithm. Our experimental results showed that the proposed SVM-based met...

goal: this study aims at analyzing and categorizing different grammatical errors including morpho-syntactic and syntactic errors in written narratives of mentally retarded students in tehran. the frequencies of errors are compared among students in different grades. method: descriptive-analytic method has been used. a test consisted of four picture stories have been administered to 125 students...

We present an approach to Arabic automatic diacritization that integrates syntactic analysis with morphological tagging through improving the prediction of case and state features. Our best system increases the accuracy of word diacritization by 2.5% absolute on all words, and 5.2% absolute on nominals over a state-of-theart baseline. Similar increases are shown on the full morphological analys...

There has been an increasing need for natural language processing technology to Information Extraction (IE), such as relations between entities, which are more informative than mere documents searched by key words. This dissertation proposes a novel method to construct and utilize extraction patterns for relation extraction based on deep syntactic relations obtained by full parsing. The process...

This paper seeks to make a pragmatic contribution to computer-assisted discourse analysis by showing how a syntactical description could be used to gain a deeper understanding of the texts. During the '80s, a large corpus (5,000 pages) of varied political discourses covering twenty five years (1934-1960) was collected and a double description of it was carried out. On the one hand, to deal with...

Morphological analysis of Japanese is very different from that of English, because no spaces are placed between words. The analysis includes segmentation of words. However, ambiguities in segmentation is not always resolved only with morphological information. This paper proposes a method to integrate the morphological and syntactic analysis based on LR parsing algorithm. An LR table derived fr...
