3 Conclusions and Discussions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have accomplished preliminary expedments on identification of various types of base phrases defined in this paper. The data shown in last seetion prove that our method generates satisfactory results for  Chinese base phrase identification. The overall process of our method is outlined the following figure.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1">  However, the 7 types Chinese base phrases we have proposed are far l~om perfection. Even what we have proposed for the 7 phrases is still under test. Further improvement will focus on two aspects: one is to discuss and add new base phrase for a broader coverage; the other is to define, theoretically or empirically, the Chinese base phrases with more strict constraints. Of course, new techniques to improved the accuracy of statistical model are the constant aim of our research.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> To sum up, Chinese base phrase identification will reduce complexity of a Chinese parser. The successful idemifieation of the 7 base phrases clearly simplifies the structure of the sentence. We expect that the research described in this paper will lay a solid foundation for a high-accuracy Chinese parser.</Paragraph>
