Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new ambiguity representation scheme; Structure Preference Relation (SPR), which consists of useful quantitative distribution information for ambiguous structures. Two automatic acquisition algorithms, the first acquired from a treebank, and the second acquired from raw texts, are introduced, and some experimental results which prove the availability of the algorithms are also given. Finally, we introduce some SPR applications in linguistics and natural language processing, such as preference-based parsing and the discovery of representative ambiguous structures, and propose some future research directions.
