    abstract = "A method to reduce ambiguity at the level of word tagging, on the basis of local syntactic constraints, is described. Such ``short context'' constraints are easy to process and can remove most of the ambiguity at that level, which is otherwise a source of great difficulty for parsers and other applications in certain natural languages. The use of local constraints is also very effective for quick invalidation of a large set of ill-formed inputs. While in some approaches local constraints are defined manually or discovered by processing of large corpora, we extract them directly from a grammar (typically context free) of the given language. We focus on deterministic constraints, but later extend the method for a probabilistic language model."
