[Corpora-List] Bootstrap in linguistics

[Jin-Dong Kim]

Dear Chris,

I am not sure if you consider it as a corpus linguistics study, but
bootstrap resampling techniques were indeed used in this work:

@article{Sang:2002:MSP:944790.944818,
 author = {Sang, Erik F. Tjong Kim},
 title = {Memory-based shallow parsing},
 journal = {J. Mach. Learn. Res.},
 volume = {2},
 month = {March},
 year = {2002},
 issn = {1532-4435},
 pages = {559--594},
 numpages = {36},
 url = {http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=944790.944818},
 acmid = {944818},
 publisher = {JMLR.org},
 keywords = {feature selection, memory-based learning, shallow
parsing, system combination},
}

Hope it helps.

Best,

Jin-Dong
