Determining the Dependency among Clauses based on SVM  

Kim, Mi-Young (성신여자대학교 컴퓨터정보학부)
Abstract
The longer the input sentences, the worse the syntactic parsing results, Therefore, a long sentence is first divided into several clauses and syntactic analysis for each clause is performed. Finally, all the analysis results art merged into one, In the merging process, it is difficult to determine the dependency among clauses, To handle such syntactic ambiguity among clauses, this paper proposes an SVM-based clause-dependency determination method. We extract various features from clauses, and analyze the effect of each feature on the performance. We also compare the performance of our proposed method with those of previous methods.
