Study of bilingual words of part-of-speech(POS) disambiguation in the English-Chinese parallel corpus

Weiguang Qu · Journal of Shandong University · 2011

A part-of-speech disambiguation approach was given based on idiosyncratic rules in a parallel corpus unaligned at the lexical level.This approach focused on those words that occurred in the corpus at very high frequency,while the part-of-speeches were difficult to determine.A number of idiosyncratic disambiguation rules were constructed and an algorithm built on these rules was applied on five typical words,among which were three Chinese words,guoqu,jihua and yu and two English words,back and so.Experiments on a large scale parallel corpus obtained an F-score of 98.45% for the disambiguation of these words,and the results showed that the constructed rules would not be constrained by the length of context and the number of templates.
