Towards a Statistical-Enriched Corpus Containing Portuguese Collocations in Use: Reviewing Possible Extraction Tools

摘要

Collocations are a main problem for any natural language processing task, from machine translation to summarization. With the goal of building a corpus with collocations, enriched with statistical information about them, we survey, in this paper, four tools for extracting collocations. These tools allow us to collect sentences with collocations, and also to gather statistics on this particular type of co-ocurrences, like Mutual Information and Log likelihood values.
