Conditional collocation in Japanese

Abstract

Analysis of Collocation is targeted for Natural Language Processing (NLP). From a linguistic perspective, collocation provides us with a way to place words close together in a natural manner. By this approach, we can examine deep structure of semantics through words and their situation. Although there have been some investigation based on co-occurrence, few discussion has been made about conditional collocation. In this investigation, we discuss a computational approach to extract conditional collocation by using data mining and statistical techniques.
