Abstract

In this paper we present an iterative methodology to improve classifier performance by incorporating linguistic knowledge, and propose a way to incorporate domain rules into the learning process. We applied the methodology to the tasks of hedge cue recognition and scope detection and obtained competitive results on a publicly available corpus.
