@article{tambouratzis2014d, author = "Tambouratzis, George", abstract = "This communication focuses on comparing the template-matching technique to established probabilistic approaches - such as Conditional Random Fields (CRF) - on a specific linguistic task, namely the phrasing of a sequence of words into phrases. This task represents a low-level parsing of the sequence into linguistically-motivated phrases. CRF represents the established method for implementing such a data-driven parser, while template-matching is a simpler method that is faster to train and operate. The two aforementioned techniques are compared here to determine the most suitable approach for extracting an accurate model.
