In machine translation, word-for-word translation of non-compositional expressions can result in very misleading (sometimes laughable) translations. In information retrieval, expansion of words in a non-compositional expression can lead to dramatic decrease in precision without any gain in recall. Less obviously, non-compositional expressions need to be treated differently than other phrases in many statistical or corpus-based NLP methods. For example, an underlying assumption in some word sense disambiguation systems, e.g., (Dagan and Itai, 1994; Li et al., 1995; Lin, 1997) , is that if two words occurred in the same context, they are probably similar. Suppose we want to determine the intended meaning of \"product\" in \"hot product\". We can find other words that are also modified by \"hot\" (e.g., \"hot car\") and then choose the meaning of \"product\" that is most similar to meanings of these words. However, this method fails when non-compositional expressions are involved. For instance, using the same algorithm to determine the meaning of \"line\" in \"hot line\", the words \"product\", \"merchandise\", \"car\", etc., would lead the algorithm to choose the \"line of product\" sense of \"line\".",

For example, (la) is an example dependency tree and the set of dependency triples extracted from (la) are shown in (lb). There are about 80 million dependency relationships in the parsed corpus. The frequency counts of dependency relationships are filtered with the loglikelihood ratio (Dunning, 1993) .

We propose a more principled approach. The frequency count of a collocation is a random variable with binomial distribution.

The confidence interval for the true probability gives rise to a confidence interval for the true mutual information (mutual information computed using the true probabilities instead of estimations). The upper and lower bounds of this interval are obtained by substituting k with k+z~v'-g and k-z~vff in (2). Since our conn n n fidence of p falling between k+,~v~ is N%, we can I% have N% confidence that the true mutual information is within the upper and lower bound.

One possibility is to compare the automatically identified relationships with relationships listed in a manually compiled dictionary. For example, (Lin, 1998) compared automatically created thesaurus with the WordNet (Miller et al., 1990 ) and Roget's Thesaurus. However, since the lexicon used in our parser is based on the WordNet, the phrasal words in WordNet are treated as a single word. For example, \"take advantage of\" is treated as a transitive verb by the parser. As a result, the extracted non-compositional phrases do not usually overlap with phrasal entries in the WordNet. Therefore, we conducted the evaluation by manually examining sample results. This method was also used to evaluate automatically identified hyponyms (Hearst, 1998), word similarity (Richardson, 1997) , and translations of collocations (Smadja et al., 1996) .",

The unmarked collocations satisfy the condition (3) but are not found in NTC-EID.

A method to determine the compositionality of verb-object pairs is proposed in (Tapanainen et al., 1998) .

The method is based on the assumption that non-compositionai phrases have a significantly different mutual information value than the phrases that are similar to their literal meanings.
