"cba to check the spelling" investigating parser performance on discussion forum posts.
In: NAACL HLT 2010 - Human Language Technologies: 2010 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the ACL, 2-4 June 2010, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
We evaluate the Berkeley parser on text from an online discussion forum. We evaluate the parser output with and without gold tokens and spellings (using Sparseval and Parseval), and we compile a list of problematic phenomena
for this domain. The Parseval f-score for a small development set is 77.56. This increases to 80.27 when we apply a set of simple transformations to the input sentences and to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) training sections.
