Title
Learning to Identify Definitions using Syntactic Features
Abstract
This paper describes an approach to learn- ing concept definitions which operates on fully parsed text. A subcorpus of the Dutch version of Wikipedia was searched for sentences which have the syntactic properties of definitions. Next, we ex- perimented with various text classifica- tion techniques to distinguish actual defi- nitions from other sentences. A maximum entropy classifier which incorporates fea- tures referring to the position of the sen- tence in the document as well as various syntactic features, gives the best results.
