Abstract:
Some medical resources such as the French MeSH are written without diacritic marks, which hinders their use in natural language interfaces. We examine the issue of accenting unaccented words, and propose a method for dealing with unknown words. This method learns on a reference set of accented words the minimal unambiguous contexts of the various accented forms of a given letter. We show experimental results for letter e on the French MeSH: this method proposes full accentuations for 70 % of the words that contain this letter. Address for correspondence
