Abstract

This paper presents a maximum entropy (ME)-based model for Chinese noun phrase metaphor recognition. The metaphor recognizing process will be viewed as a classification task between metaphor and literal meaning. Our experiments show that the metaphor recognizer based on the ME method is significantly better than the Example-based methods within the same context windows. In addition, performance is further improved by introducing additional features into the ME model and achieves good results in window (-2,+2).
