Seminar by Antoine Doucet, University of Caen Lower Normandy (France), March 14, 2008, 10:30-11:30, SI-007.
ABSTRACT:
The talk will focus on the presentation of a language- independent technique for the extraction and selection of multiword units. The main idea is to focus on the sequential nature of text and see multiword units extraction as an extension of sequential pattern mining. If time permits, the problem of the use of phrases in information retrieval will also be discussed.
