<div dir="ltr">Hello Miguel,<br>Do you mean that the mentioned tool works as a combined feature selection and learner model parameter selection tool? How this optimization affects learning speed?<br>Thanks<br><br>Mohammad Sadegh Rasooli<br>

<br>Freely
available statistical parsers often require careful optimization to
produce state-of-the-art results, which can be a non-trivial task
especially for application developers who are not interested in parsing
research for its own sake. MaltOptimizer is a freely available tool
developed to facilitate parser optimization with the open-source system
MaltParser, which offers a wide range of parameters for optimization,
including nine different parsing algorithms, two different machine
learning libraries (each with a number of different learners), and an
expressive specification language that can be used to define arbitrarily
rich feature models. MaltOptimizer is an interactive system that first
performs an analysis of the training set in order to select a suitable
starting point for optimization and then guides the user through the
optimization of parsing algorithm, feature model, and learning algorithm
parameters. <br> <br>The system will be demonstrated in the System Demonstration Session at <a href="http://eacl2012.org/home/index.html" target="_blank">EACL 2012</a> and is further described in a paper to appear at <a href="http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2012/" target="_blank">LREC 2012</a>. </div>
