Abstract

Clause boundary identification is a very important task in natural language processing. Identifying the clauses in the sentence becomes a tough task if the clauses are embedded inside other clauses in the sentence. In our approach, we use the dependency parser to identify the boundary for the clause. The dependency tag set, contains 11 tags, and is useful for identifying the boundary of the clause along with the identification of the subject and object information of the sentence. The MALT parser is used to get the required information about the sentence.
