A maximum entropy model for prepositional phrase attachment

Abstract

A parser for natural language must often choose between two or more equally grammatical parses for the same sentence. Often the correct parse can be determined from the lexical properties of certain key words or from the context in which the sentence occurs. For example in the sentence.
