Abstract
This paper discusses about the detection of clause boundaries using a hybrid approach. The Conditional Random fields (CRFs), which have linguistic rules as features, identifies the boundaries initially. The boundary marked is checked for false boundary marking using Error Pattern Analyser. The false boundary markings are re-analysed using linguistic rules. The experiments done with our approach shows encouraging results and are comparable with the other approaches
