Corpora: Noun phrases categories

[Fuchun Peng]

Dear colleagues:

I am working on classifying noun phrases into several categories, such as
mass NPs and count NPs, and even dividing each category further. The goal
is to develop better language models for noun phrases modeling. and If it
works, we can develop better language models for sentences and better NP
chunkers.

I am wondering are there any previous work done on this topic? How many
categories should we divide noun phrases into and are there such labeled
data?

Thanks


Fuchun
