Abstract
Words’ property of times is an important type of additional meaning which represents the spirit of times. People get the information of times from words by their own experience, but automatic recognition by computers is still difficult. This paper proposes a method of automatic recognition of the property of times based on large-scale corpus, which uses the TF-IDF and TF-IWF values to quantify Chinese words’ property of times. Experiments on People’s Daily of 54 years show that words’ TF-IDF values aided with TF-IWF value outperform words’ frequency. Naïve Bayes classifier is also used in for automatic acquisition of words’ property of times, and it achieves satisfactory results.
