Data

The hedge classification data is provided in three formats:

- Tokenized	(.tok extension)
- Tokenized & Stemmed	(.stm extension)
- Tokenized & Stemmed + Bigrams	(.bgm extension)

The following files are available in all formats:

- spec_seeds / nspec_seeds	Seed data for spec and nspec classes
- spec_test / nspec_test	Test data for spec and nspec classes
- pool	Unlabeled pool

The following files are also available in the .stm and .bgm formats:

- spec_train / nspec_train

Training data sets automatically induced using the probabilistic acquisition model of Medlock and Briscoe (2007)
