Abstract:This article focuses on the problem of weak cross-domain ability on bilingual maximal-length noun phrase recognition. A bilingual noun phrase recognition algorithm based on semi-supervised learning is proposed. The approach can make full use of both the English features and the Chinese features in a unified framework, and it regards the two language corpus as different view of one dataset. Instances with the highest confidence score are selected and merged, and then added to the labeled data set to train the classifier. Experimental results on test sets show the effectiveness of the proposed approach which outperforms 4.52% over the baseline in cross-domain, and 3.08% over the baseline in similar domain.
