Less is More, More or Less... Finding the Optimal Threshold for Lexicalization in Chunking
Balázs Indig · Computación y Sistemas · 2018
Lexicalization of the input of sequential taggers has gone a long way since it was invented by Molina and Pla [4]. In this paper we thoroughly investigate the method introduced by Indig and Endredy [2] to find out ´ the best lexicalization level for chunking and to explore the behavior of different IOB representations. Both tasks are applied to the CoNLL-2000 dataset. Our goal is to introduce a transformation method to accommodate the parameters of the development set to the training set using their frequency distributions which other tasks like POS tagging or NER could benefit too.
