Significant progress has been made in natural language processing (NLP) technologies in recent years, but most still do not match human performance. Since many applications of these technologies require human-quality results, some form of manual intervention is necessary.
The success of such applications therefore depends heavily on the extent to which errors can be automatically detected and signaled to a human user. In our project we will attempt to devise a generic method for NLP error detection by studying the problem of Confidence Estimation (CE) in NLP results within a Machine Learning (ML) framework.
