In this paper, we demonstrate the impact of Multiword Expression (MWE) resources in the task of MWE recognition in text. We present results based on the Wiki50 corpus for MWE resources, generated using unsupervised methods from raw text and resources that are extracted using manual text markup and lexical resources. We show that resources acquired from manual annotation yield the best MWE taggi...

In all models of the DEA, for each unit under assessment, the numerical efficiency which may be less than or equal to one is obtained. Given the possible large number of efficiency units for evaluating units, we use various methods of ranking. span style="font-family: Cambria Math;font-size:8pt...
