Chinese event descriptive clause splitting with structured SVMs

Abstract

Chinese event descriptive clause splitting is a novel task in Chinese information processing. Different from English clause splitting problem, Chinese event descriptive clause splitting aims at recognizing the high-level clauses. In this paper, we present a Chinese clause splitting system with a discriminative approach. By formulating the Chinese clause splitting task as a sequence labeling problem, we apply the structured SVMs model to Chinese clause splitting. Compared with other two baseline systems, our approach gives much better performance. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
