I used a new program called <BR>TRNFIX that spots all discrepancies between POST and MOR and allows the <BR>user to decide which one was right. I did this for the Brown Eve <BR>corpus which is my current training corpus. Using just the adult
<BR>utterances in that corpus, I recreated the eng.db file used by POST. <BR>Kenji Sagae and I have found that training on maternal input gives <BR>better accuracy than training on maternal input plus child sentences or <BR>just child sentences.<BR>Using the new eng.db, I then went through all of the Eng-USA and <BR>Eng-UK corpora (with 6 exceptions) and produced a new disambiguated <BR>%mor line that should be now more accurate than the previous one. The <BR>major errors in the previous version were in the area of confusions of <BR>determiners with pronouns and verbs with auxiliaries.<BR>The corpora which are still "in the shop" vis a vis MOR are: Clark, <BR>Hall, Forrester, Howe, Manchester, and Wells. After these six are <BR>finished, we will be moving on to work with the English corpora in the <BR>narrative and clinical directories.<BR><BR>--Brian MacWhinney<BR><BR><BR><BR>> ATTACHMENT part 2.2 message/rfc822 <BR>Subject: role of repetition in word familiarity<BR>From: Tania
