Retrieve New SD-Rules from NomD, 2015

I. Description

A set of computer programs (FindSdRulesFromDPairs.java) are developed to find the SD-Rules from a set of suffixD pairs. It identifies and eliminates the same starting characters of a SD-pair and then generates the SD-Rules automatically. Please note that only root-parent SD-Rules is generated in this program. Two sets of SD-pairs are used for this task. This page details the new SD-Rules selected from nomD.

II. Procedures

  • Directory: ${SUFFIXD_DIR}
  • Programs:
    • shell>cd ${SUFFIXD_DIR}/bin
    • shell>GetSdRule ${YEAR}
      2
      nomD

    • shell>GetSdRule ${YEAR}
      3
      nomD

III. Results

  • These are SD-Pairs from nominalizations of Lexicon.2015
  • The file of ${NOM_D_DIR}/data/nomD.yes.S.data is used as input
  • There are 23,384 SD-Pairs to generate 1,017 SD-Rules, see sdRulesFromSdPairs.rpt
  • All generated SD-Rules are root-parent rules (without parent-rule).
  • Rules with following criteria are selected:
    • High frequency (>= 200):
      • Accumulate coverage: 80.34% (> 80.00%)
      • Individual coverage: 1.26% (> 1.00%)

      • SD-Rules meet above criteria (total instance No. 23,384):
