Likun Qiu, Wenxian Zhang · 2010
Noun phrase understanding is very important for many sub-fields of natural language processing and information retrieval. This paper proposed a classification framework for Chinese post-modified V+N phrases. The basic idea is that most noun phrases might be mapped to corresponding clauses. Therefore, case, time, aspect and modality can also be encoded in noun phrases as in verb phrases. All those factors are included in the proposed framework. Finally, features of the proposed framework are analyzed.
