"text": "Morphological analysis is one of the basic techniques used in Japanese sentence analysis. A morpheme is a minimal grammatical unit, such as a word or a sux, and morphological analysis is the process segmenting a given sentence into a r o w of morphemes and assigning to each morpheme grammatical attributes such as a partof-speech (POS) and an inection type. One of the most important problems in morphological analysis is that posed by unknown words, which are words found in neither a dictionary nor a training corpus, and there have been two statistical approaches to this problem. One is to acquire unknown words from corpora and put them into a dictionary (e.g., (Mori and Nagao, 1996) ), and the other is to estimate a model that can identify unknown words correctly (e.g., (Kashioka et al., 1997; Nagata, 1999) ). We would like t o b e a b l e t o m a k e good use of both approaches. If words acquired by the former method could be added to a dictionary and a model developed by the latter method could consult the amended dictionary, then the model could be the best statistical model which has the potential to overcome the unknown word problem. Mori and Nagao proposed a statistical model that can consult a dictionary (Mori and Nagao, 1998) . In their model the probability that a string of letters or characters is a morpheme is augmented when the string is found in a dictionary. The improvement o f the accuracy was slight, however, so we think that it is dicult to eciently integrate the mechanism for consulting a dictionary into an n-gram model. In this paper we therefore describe a morphological analysis method based on a maximum entropy (M.E.) model. This method uses a model that can not only consult a dictionary but can also identify unknown words by learning certain characteristics. To learn these characteristics, we focused on such information as whether or not a string is found in a dictionary and what types of characters are used in a string. The model estimates how l i k ely a string is to be a morpheme according to the information on hand. When our method was used to identify morpheme segments in sentences in the Kyoto University corpus and to identify the major parts-of-speech of these morphemes, the recall and precision were respectively 95.80% and 95.09%.",

"text": "This section describes a model which estimates how likely a string is to be a morpheme. We implemented this model within an M.E. framework. Given a tokenized test corpus, the problem of Japanese morphological analysis can be reduced to the problem of assigning one of two tags to each string in a sentence. A string is tagged with a 1 or a 0 to indicate whether or not it is a morpheme. When a string is a m o rpheme, a grammatical attribute is assigned to it. The 1 tag is thus divided into the number, n, of grammatical attributes assigned to morphemes, and the problem is to assign an attribute (from 0 to n) t o e v ery string in a given sentence. The (n+1) tags form the space of \\fu-tures\" in the M.E. formulation of our problem of morphological analysis. The M.E. model, as well as other similar models, enables the computation of P (fjh) for any future f from the space of possible futures, F , and for every history, h, from the space of possible histories, H.",

"text": "The accuracy in segmentation and major POS tagging obtained with our method and that obtained with JUMAN were about 3% worse than that obtained with JUMAN plus KNP. We think the main reason for this was an insucient amount of training data and feature sets and the inconsistency of the corpus. The number of sentences in the training corpus was only about 8,000, and we did not use as many combined features as were proposed in Ref. (Uchimoto et al., 1999) . We w ere unable to use more training data or more feature sets because every string consisting of ve or less characters in our training corpus was used to train our model, so the amount of tokenized training data would have become too large and the training would not have been completed on the available machine if we had used more training data or more feature sets. The inconsistency of the corpus was due to the way the corpus was made. The Kyoto University corpus was made by manually correcting the output of JU-MAN plus KNP, and it is dicult to manually correct all of the inconsistencies in the output. The use of JUMAN plus KNP thus has an advantage over the use of our method when we evaluate a system's accuracy by using the Kyoto University corpus. For example, the number of morphemes whose rightmost character is \\ \" w as 153 in the test corpus, and they were all the s a m e a s t h o s e in the output of JUMAN plus KNP. There were three errors (about 2%) in the output of our system. There were several inconsistencies in the test corpus such a s \\ (seisan, Noun), (sha, Sux)(producer),\" and \\ (shouhi-sha, Noun)(consumer).\" They should have been corrected in the corpusmaking process to \\ (seisan, Noun), (sha, Sux)(producer),\" and \\ (shouhi, Noun), (sha, Sux)(consumer).\" It is dicult for our model to discriminate among these without over-training when there are such inconsistencies in the corpus. Other similar inconsistencies were, for example, \\ (geijutsuka, Noun)(artist)\" and \\ (kougei, Noun), (ka, Sux)(craftsman),\" \\ (keishi-cho, Noun)(the Metropolitan Police Board)\" and \\ (kensatsu, Noun), (cho, Noun)(the Public Prosecutor's Oce),\" and \\ (genjitsuteki, Adjective)(realistic)\" and \\ (risou, Noun), (teki, Sux)(ideal).\". If these had been corrected consistently when making the corpus, the accuracy obtained by our method could have b e e n better than that shown in Table 2. A study on corpus revision should be undertaken to resolve this issue. We believe i t c a n be resolved by using our trained model. There is a high possibility that a morpheme lacks consistency in the training corpus when its probability, re-estimated by our model, is low. Thus a method which detects morphemes having a low probability can identify those lacking consistency in the training corpus. We intend to try this in the future.",

"text": "Several methods based on statistical models have been proposed for the morphological analysis of Japanese sentences. An F-measure of about 96% was achieved by a method based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) (Takeuchi and Matsumoto, 1997) and by one based on a v ariable-memory Markov model (Haruno and Matsumoto, 1997; Kitauchi et al., 1999) . Although the accuracy obtained with these methods was better than that obtained with ours, their accuracy cannot be compared directly with that of our method because their partof-speech categories dier from ours. And an advantage of our model is that it can handle unknown words, whereas their models do not handle unknown words well. In their models, unknown words are divided into a combination of a word consisting of one character and known words. Haruno and Matsumoto (Haruno and Matsumoto, 1997) achieved a recall of about 96% when using trigram or greater information, but achieved a recall of only 94% when using bigram information. This leads us to believe t h a t we could obtain better accuracy if we use trigram or greater information. We plan to do so in future work. Two approaches have b e e n u s e d t o d e a l w i t h unknown words: acquiring unknown words from corpora and putting them into a dictionary (e.g., (Mori and Nagao, 1996) ) and developing a model that can identify unknown words correctly (e.g., (Kashioka et al., 1997; Nagata, 1999) ). Nagata reported a recall of about 40% for unknown words (Nagata, 1999) . As shown in Table 3 , our method achieved a recall of 69.90% for unknown words. Our accuracy was about 30% better than his. It is dicult to compare his method with ours directly because he used a dierent corpus (the EDR corpus), but the part-of-speech categories and the definition of morphemes he used were similar to ours. Thus, this comparison is helpful in evaluating our method. There are no spaces between morphemes in Japanese. In general, therefore, detecting whether a given string is an unknown word or is not a morpheme is dicult when it is not found in the dictionary, nor in the training corpus. However, our model learns whether or not a given string is a morpheme and has a huge amount of data for learning what in a corpus is not a morpheme. Therefore, we believe that the characteristics of our model led to its good results for identifying unknown words.",
