The (Un)Deterministic Nature of Morphological Context

Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the study of the context within natural language processing and to bring in aspects which, I believe, have a direct influence on the interpretation of the success rates and on a more successful design of language models. This work tries to formalize the (ir)regularities, dynamic characteristics, of context using techniques from the field of chaotic and non-linear systems. The observations are done on the problem of POS tagging.
