Applications ILP in NLP

Several tasks within NLP present opportunities for ILP applications including word segmentation [7], derivational and inflectional morphology [9], syntax and semantics [10], or text categorization [1].
In the field of morphology, LAI Ljubljana [4] applied ILP for generating the lemma from the oblique form of nouns as well as for generating the correct oblique form from the lemma, with average accuracy 91.5 % .
Part-of-speech(POS) tagging is the most popular as well as the most succesfull application field within ILP. [2] developed POS tagger for English that achieved per-word accuracy of 96.4 %. [3] exhaustively searched Wall Street Journal corpus for assiciation rules that describe frequent properties of sentences and words. Induction of constraint grammar rules by means of ILP is solved in [5].
