tagging, and sub-syntactic analysis of Portuguese.
Features and evaluation
LX-Sentence Splitter marks sentence boundaries with
<s>…</s>,
and paragraph boundaries with
<p>…</p>.
It also unwraps sentences split over different lines.
A f-score of 99.94% was obtained when testing on a 12,000 sentence corpus accurately
hand tagged with respect to sentence and paragraph boundaries.
The development of a state-of-the-art, complete suite of shallow processing tools
for Portuguese was supported by FCT-Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia
under the contract POSI/PLP/47058/2002 for the project TagShare and the contract
POSI/PLP/61490/2004 for the project QueXting, and the European Commission under the
contract FP6/STREP/27391 for the project LT4eL.
