this paper, we combine different systems employing known representations. The observation that suggests this approach is that systems that are designed differently, either because they use a different formalism or because they contain different knowledge, will typically produce different errors. We hope to make use of this fact and reduce the number of errors with very little additional effort by exploiting the disagreement between different language models. Al- though the approach is applicable to any type of language model, we focus on the case of statistical disambiguators that are trained on annotated corpora. The examples of the task that are present in the corpus and its annotation are fed into a learning algorithm, which induces a model of the desired input-output mapping in the form of a classifier. * EO.

Each type of learning method brings its own 'inductive bias' to the task and will produce a classifier with slightly different characteristics, so that different methods will tend to produce different errors
