TLDR
This work has shown that the transformation-based learning approach can be applied at a higher level of textual interpretation for locating chunks in the tagged text, including non-recursive “baseNP” chunks.Abstract:
Transformation-based learning, a technique introduced by Eric Brill (1993b), has been shown to do part-of-speech tagging with fairly high accuracy. This same method can be applied at a higher level of textual interpretation for locating chunks in the tagged text, including non-recursive “baseNP” chunks. For this purpose, it is convenient to view chunking as a tagging problem by encoding the chunk structure in new tags attached to each word. In automatic tests using Treebank-derived data, this technique achieved recall and precision rates of roughly 93% for baseNP chunks (trained on 950K words) and 88% for somewhat more complex chunks that partition the sentence (trained on 200K words). Working in this new application and with larger template and training sets has also required some interesting adaptations to the transformation-based learning approach.read more

Robust and efficient multiclass SVM models for phrase pattern recognition
TL;DR: This paper introduces the proposed two new multiclass SVM models that make the system substantially faster in terms of training and testing while keeps the SVM accurate and can be applied to similar tasks such as named entity recognition and Chinese word segmentation.

End-To-End Named Entity And Semantic Concept Extraction From Speech
Sahar Ghannay,Antoine Caubrière,Yannick Estève,Nathalie Camelin,Edwin Simonnet,Antoine Laurent,Emmanuel Morin +6 more
TL;DR: An end-to-end approach that directly extracts named entities from speech, though a unique neural architecture is explored, and this approach applied to semantic concept extraction, through a slot filling task known as a spoken language understanding problem, and also observes an improvement in comparison to a pipeline approach.

TL;DR: OLiA is introduced, an ontology of linguistic annotations that mediates between alternative tag sets that cover the same class of linguistic phenomena and is tied to a machine learning component for semiautomatic annotation.

A Memory-Based Approach to Learning Shallow Natural Language Patterns
TL;DR: A novel memory-based learning method that recognizes shallow patterns in new text based on a bracketed training corpus that enables easy porting to new domains and to sub-language patterns for information extraction.

Parsing By Chunks
TL;DR: The typical chunk consists of a single content word surrounded by a constellation of function words, matching a fixed template, and the relationships between chunks are mediated more by lexical selection than by rigid templates.

A Stochastic Parts Program and Noun Phrase Parser for Unrestricted Text
TL;DR: The authors used a linear-time dynamic programming algorithm to find an assignment of parts of speech to words that optimizes the product of (a) lexical probabilities (probability of observing part of speech i given word i) and (b) contextual probabilities (pb probability of observing n following partsof speech).

Some advances in transformation-based part of speech tagging
TL;DR: In this article, a rule-based approach to tagging unknown words is described, where the tagger-can be extended into a k-best tagger, where multiple tags can be assigned to words in some cases of uncertainty.

Performance structures: A psycholinguistic and linguistic appraisal☆
James Paul Gee,François Grosjean +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two lines of research are combined to deal with a long-standing problem in both fields: why the performance structures of sentences (structures based on experimental data, such as pausing and parsing values) are not fully accountable for by linguistic theories of phrase structure.

A corpus-based approach to language learning
TL;DR: A learning algorithm is described that takes a small structurally annotated corpus of text and a larger unannotated corpus as input, and automatically learns how to assign accurate structural descriptions to sentences not in the training corpus.
