Wee5-4PP attachment 3

Accuracy in test data

• Alg2 63%
• Alg2a outperforms Alg2(Rule 3), 70%

Summarization

Memorizing everything is not a good idea!!

What additional sources can we use to improve the algorithm?

• use a few more good features(e.g. more prepositions, more verbs and nouns?)
• use clever ways to deal with missing information(how to deal with the tuples that does appear in the training set but are similar with some tuples in the training set)
• use semantic information(e.g. synonyms)
• use additional context
