CHUNK PARSING SCHEME FOR CHINESE SENTENCES

This paper proposed the chunk parsing scheme , a shallow syntactic knowledge representation system with the descriptive ability between part of speech serial and parse tree representation, and discussed some basic concepts and automatic identification algorithms for its two main parts: word boundary stems and constituent groups. Based on this scheme, this paper also proposed a new treebank annotation strategy, i.e. from chunk bank to treebank, and carried out several syntactic parsing and knowledge acquisition experiments, such as 1) the automatic identification of Chinese maximal noun phrases, 2) the automatic acquisition of Chinese probabilistic context free grammar knowledge. All these work shows its usefulness and efficiency for natural language processing research and development.
