Abstract

Learning by example is an effective language learning technique. However, most language learning tools only provide a rather limited collection of example sentences and a simple searching-by-keyword interface, making example sentences that meet user demand difficult to find. To resolve this problem, this work introduces a Query By Sentence Pattern technique to provide a flexible query interface, and then proposes several algorithms to extract example sentences from the Web. Results of this study demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively searches for example sentences.

This research is based on work supported by the National Science Council under Grants NSC 94-2623-7-155-006 and NSC 93-2213-E-155-053.
