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

Structured Refinement for Sequential Labeling
TL;DR: This paper proposes to extend previous work with globally normalized attention, e.g., structured attention, to leverage structural information for more effective representation refinement, and provides extensive experimental results on various datasets to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.
A Joint Model for Normalizing Gene and Organism Mentions in Text
TL;DR: This work solves the extended gene mention normalization task using a joint model for gene and organism name normalization which allows for instances from different organisms to share features, thus achieving sizable performance gains with different learning methods.

On constituent chunking for Turkish
TL;DR: This study proposed a new simpler tagging schema, namely OE, in constituent chunking for Turkish, and used a schema called OB, where “B” represents the leftmost token of a chunk and OE represents the rightmost token, using the conditional random fields (CRF) method.

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.
