Ancient Chinese Word Segmentation and Part-of-Speech Tagging Using Distant Supervision
Shuo Feng, Piji Li
Ancient Chinese word segmentation (WSG) and part-of-speech tagging (POS) are important to study ancient Chinese, but the amount of ancient Chinese WSG and POS tagging data is still rare. In this paper, we propose a novel augmentation method of ancient Chinese WSG and POS tagging data using distant supervision over parallel corpus. However, there are still mislabeled and unlabeled ancient Chinese words inevitably in distant supervision. To address this problem, we take advantage of the memorization effects of deep neural networks and a small amount of annotated data to get a model with much knowledge and a little noise, and then we use this model to relabel the ancient Chinese sentences in parallel corpus. Experiments show that the model trained over the relabeled data outperforms the model trained over the data generated from distant supervision and the annotated data.
