Ever since the landmark paper Ramshaw and Marcus (1995), machine learning systems have been used successfully for identifying base phrases (chunks), the bottom constituents of a p...
Contemporary parser research is, to a large extent, focused on statistical parsers and deep-unification-based parsers. This paper describes an alternative, hybrid architecture in ...
Several phrase chunkers have been proposed over the past few years. Some state-of-the-art chunkers achieved better performance via integrating external resources, e.g., parsers and...
In this paper we investigate the benefit of stochastic predictor components for the parsing quality which can be obtained with a rule-based dependency grammar. By including a chun...
We present a noun chunker for German which is based on a head-lexicalised probabilistic contextfl'ee grammar. A manually developed grammar was semi-automatically extended wit...
