WeSearch_LexicalFiltering

Background

Given a lattice of lexical hypotheses, _aL_bⁱ, and a tagger t^j(_aL_bⁱ), develop a filter function, filter(_aL_bⁱ, t^j(_aLbⁱ)), -> (0,1) that discards unlikely lexical hypotheses.

One such filter function is to intuitively map PTB tags output from the TNT tagger onto LE Types:

• t^j(_aL_bⁱ) : map_t(t^j(_aL_b)) = map_l(_aL_bⁱ) => 1

  • map_t() ∩ map_l() ≠ ∬
