Abstract

Structural ambiguity is one of the most difficult problems in natural language processing. Two disambiguation mechanisms for unrestricted text analysis are commonly used: lexical knowledge and context considerations. Our parsing method includes three different mechanisms to reveal syntactic struc- tures and an additional voting module to obtain the most probable structures for a sentence. The developed tools do not require any tagging or syntactic marking of texts.
