Native Language Identification using Phonetic Algorithms
Charese Smiley, Sandra Kübler · 2017
In this paper, we discuss the results of the IUCL system in the NLI Shared Task 2017.For our system, we explore a variety of phonetic algorithms to generate features for Native Language Identification.These features are contrasted with one of the most successful type of features in NLI, character n-grams.We find that although phonetic features do not perform as well as character n-grams alone, they do increase overall F1 score when used together with character n-grams.
