Annotating the functional chunks in Chinese sentences
Qiang Zhou, Elliott Franco Drábek, Fuji Ren · 2002
The paper proposed a new syntactic annotation scheme ---functional chunk, which tried to represent information about grammatical relations between sentence-level predicates and their arguments.Under this scheme, we built a Chinese chunk bank with about two million Chinese characters, and developed some learned models for automatically annotating fresh text with functional chunks.We also proposed a two-stages approach to build Chinese tree bank on the top of chunk bank, and gave some experimental results of chunk-based syntactic parser to show the advantage of functional chunk for parsing performance increase.All these work lays good foundations for further research project to build a large scale Chinese tree bank.
