Beschreibung:
In the latest decades, machine learning approaches have been intensively experimented for natural language processing. Most of the time, systems rely on using statistics within the system, by analyzing texts at the token level and, for labelling tasks, categorizing each among possible classes. One may notice that previous symbolic approaches (e.g. transducers) where designed to delimit pieces of text. Our research team developped mXS, a system that aims at combining both approaches. It locates boundaries of entities by using sequential pattern mining and machine learning. This system, intially developped for French, has been adapted to German.
