FINDING APPROXIMATE LANGUAGE PATTERNS

Abstract

A two-phase annotation method for semantic labeling based on the edit distance is proposed. This dynamic programming approach stresses on a non-exact string matching technique that takes full advantage of the underlying grammatical structure of 65,000 parse trees in a Treebank. It is based on the assumption that human language understanding is relevant to concrete past language experiences rather than any abstract linguistic rules. This shallow technique is inspired by the research in the area of bio-molecular sequences analysis which advocates high sequence similarity usually implies significant function or structural similarity. Experimental results for recognizing various labels in 10,000 sentences are used to justify its significances.
