Test 3<br />

When using the overlap metric, all feature values are seen as equally dissimilar (Daelemans et<br />

al. 2003, p. 23). This means that the classifier is unable to determine the similarity of values<br />

such as politi (police), etterforsker (investigator) and politimester (chief of police) by means of<br />

looking at their co-occurrence with target classes. By using the Modified Value Difference<br />

Metric (MVDM), the features are weighted according to the patterns they occur in.<br />

Unfortunately, MVDM does not perform so well when used on small data sets with values that<br />

only occur a few times in the data set. When trained and tested on the EPAS_arg1 list, MVDM<br />

produced slightly lower accuracies than in the corresponding test with the overlap metric (see<br />

test 2 above). In practise, this meant that the benefits of MVDM could not be exploited due to<br />

the size of the data material.<br />

Test 4<br />

Training set: EPAS_arg1 excluding structures with pronouns and structures with non-verbal<br />

predicates<br />

Test method: leave-one-out<br />

Result: 45,03% (68/151) correct classifications<br />
