Using techniques from information theory; more precisely,...

Nerve biopsies we...

We introduce a corpus of classical Chinese poems that has been word segmented and tagged with parts-ofspeech (POS). Due to the ill-defined concept of a ‘word’ in Chinese, previous Chinese corpora suffer from a lack of standardization in word segmentation, resulting in inconsistencies in POS tags, therefore hindering interoperability among corpora. We address this problem with nested POS tags, w...
