It is based on conditional random fields (CRF), using local context information as features. We show that this approach can obtain results that, in some cases, approach more sophisticated parser-based MWE identification methods without requiring syntactic trees from a treebank. Moreover, we study how well the CRF can take into account external information coming from a lexicon. %R 10.18653/v1/W17-1723 %U https://aclanthology.org/W17-1723 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/W17-1723 %P 167-175
