Abstract

We present an architecture for the integration of shallow and deep NLP components which is aimed at flexible combination of different language technologies for a range of practical current and future applications. In particular, we describe the integration of a high-level HPSG parsing system with different high-performance shallow components, ranging from named entity recognition to chunk parsing and shallow clause recognition. The NLP components enrich a representation of natural language text with layers of new XML meta-information using a single shared data structure, called the text chart. We describe details of the integration methods, and show how information extraction and language checking applications for realworld German text benefit from a deep grammatical analysis.

Integrated shallow and deep parsing: TopP meets HPSG
ACL '03: Proceedings of the 41st Annual Meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics - Volume 1

We present a novel, data-driven method for integrated shallow and deep parsing. Mediated by an XML-based multi-layer annotation architecture, we interleave a robust, but accurate stochastic topological field parser of German with a constraint-based HPSG ...
Combining deep and shallow approaches in parsing German
ACL '03: Proceedings of the 41st Annual Meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics - Volume 1

The paper describes two parsing schemes: a shallow approach based on machine learning and a cascaded finite-state parser with a hand-crafted grammar. It discusses several ways to combine them and presents evaluation results for the two individual ...
Deep syntactic processing by combining shallow methods
ACL '03: Proceedings of the 41st Annual Meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics - Volume 1

We present a novel approach for finding discontinuities that outperforms previously published results on this task. Rather than using a deeper grammar formalism, our system combines a simple unlexicalized PCFG parser with a shallow pre-processor. This ...
