Abstract
In order to achieve the long-range goal of semantic interpretation of noun compounds, it is often necessary to £rst determine their syntactic structure. This paper describes an unsupervised method for noun compound bracketing which extracts statistics from Web search engines using a χ 2 measure, a new set of surface features, and paraphrases. On a gold standard, the system achieves results of 89.34 % (baseline 66.80%), which is a sizable improvement over the state of the art (80.70%). 1
