Bunsetsu Identification Using Category-Exclusive Rules

Original · EN

This paper describes two new bunsetsu identification methods using supervised learning. Since Japanese syntactic analysis is usually done after bunsetsu identification, bunsetsu identification is important for analyzing Japanese sentences. In experiments comparing the four previously available machine-learning methods (decision tree, maximum-entropy method, example-based approach and decision list) and two new methods using category-exclusive rules, the new method using the category-exclusive rules with the highest similarity performed best.
