Natural Language Annotation for Machine Learning (eBook, ePUB)

A Guide to Corpus-Building for Applications

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Create your own natural language training corpus for machine learning. Whether youre working with English, Chinese, or any other natural language, this hands-on book guides you through a proven annotation development cyclethe process of adding metadata to your training corpus to help ML algorithms work more efficiently. You dont need any programming or linguistics experience to get started.Using detailed examples at every step, youll learn how the MATTER Annotation Development Process helps you Model, Annotate, Train, Test, Evaluate, and Revise your training corpus. You also get a complete walkthrough of a real-world annotation project.Define a clear annotation goal before collecting your dataset (corpus)Learn tools for analyzing the linguistic content of your corpusBuild a model and specification for your annotation projectExamine the different annotation formats, from basic XML to the Linguistic Annotation FrameworkCreate a gold standard corpus that can be used to train and test ML algorithmsSelect the ML algorithms that will process your annotated dataEvaluate the test results and revise your annotation taskLearn how to use lightweight software for annotating texts and adjudicating the annotationsThis book is a perfect companion to OReillys Natural Language Processing with Python.

Autorenporträt

James Pustejovsky teaches and does research in Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics in the Computer Science Department at Brandeis University. His main areas of interest include: lexical meaning, computational semantics, temporal and spatial reasoning, and corpus linguistics. He is active in the development of standards for interoperability between language processing applications, and lead the creation of the recently adopted ISO standard for time annotation, ISO-TimeML. He is currently heading the development of a standard for annotating spatial information in language. More information on publications and research activities can be found at his webpage: pusto.com. Amber Stubbs recently completed her Ph.D. in Computer Science at Brandeis University, and is currently a Postdoctoral Associate at SUNY Albany. Her dissertation focused on creating an annotation methodology to aid in extracting high-level information from natural language files, particularly biomedical texts.
