Chunking

After completing this experiment, students will be able to:

  1. Identify and Annotate Chunks: Accurately group words into syntactic chunks (noun, verb, prepositional phrases, etc.) in sentences from English and Hindi, using the IOB tagging scheme.

  2. Analyze Sentence Structure: Recognize and distinguish syntactic patterns that define chunk boundaries, demonstrating understanding of phrase structure in both languages.

  3. Compare Chunking Across Languages: Analyze and compare chunking patterns and challenges between English and Hindi, understanding how different languages organize phrase structure.

  4. Practice Chunking Skills: Develop hands-on proficiency in annotating chunk boundaries using the interactive simulation, applying theoretical knowledge to practical sentence analysis tasks.

Learning Focus

  • Group words into syntactic chunks using IOB tags
