Chunk Tagger -- Statistical Recognition of Noun Phrases
Author: Wojciech Skut and Thorsten Brants
Editor:
We describe a stochastic approach to partial parsing,
i.e., the recognition of syntactic structures of limited depth. The
technique utilises Markov Models, but goes beyond usual bracketing
approaches, since it is capable of recognising not only the
boundaries, but also the internal structure and syntactic category of
simple as well as complex NP's, PP's, AP's and adverbials. We compare
tagging accuracy for different applications and encoding schemes.
