Abstract:

Specialized corpus about new words is too rare to systematically study the growing amount of China English new words, and new words identification is the main technical problem in constructing a corpus. Aiming at the problem that existing new words recognition algorithms based on Pointwise Mutual Information(PMI) and Branch Entropy(BE) have a low inner cohesion degree of new words, and invalid phrases with high threshold and unrecognizable new phrases with low threshold in setting single threshold of mutual information, a recognition algorithm of China English new words based on improved multi-word PMI and BE is proposed. The new words are identified through multi-word PMI and double threshold of PMI. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy rate, recall rate and the [F] value, and is effective and feasible for corpus construction.

Key words: China English, corpus of China English new words, identification of new words, Pointwise Mutual Information(PMI), double threshold

摘要:

随着中国英语新词大量出现,缺少中国英语新词语料库成为研究中国英语的主要障碍,新词识别是建设语料库主要的技术问题。针对现有的点互信息和邻接熵新词识别算法中的词内部凝聚度低,及点互信息单阈值设置存在较多高阈值无效词组,且低阈值新词组无法识别的问题,提出了改进多字点互信息和邻接熵中国英语新词识别算法。利用多字点互信息以及点互信息双阈值的设定来识别新词。实验结果表明,相同数据和实验环境下,该方法提高了准确率、召回率和[F]值,对语料库建设是有效可行的。
