A Survey on Chinese Chunk Parsing

Chunking,as a typical shallow parsing,serves for many language information processing system for their demands on syntactic information,as well as a bridge between the lexical analysis,syntactic parsing and semantic parsing.This paper surveys the rich researches on chunking in several aspects: the definition and classification of chunks,the chunks identification,the chunks annotation and evaluation,and the internal relationship in chunks.Finally,this paper draws conclusions and discusses the future work.
