1 Introduction
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The maximum entropy framework has proved to be a powerful modelling tool in many areas of natural language processing. Its applications range from sentence boundary disambiguation (Reynar and Ratnaparkhi, 1997) to part-of-speech tagging (Ratnaparkhi, 1996), parsing (Ratnaparkhi, 1997) and machine translation (Berger et al., 1996).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In the present paper, we describe a partial parser based on the maximum entropy modelling method. After a synopsis of the maximum entropy framework in section 2, we present the motivation for our approach and the techniques it exploits (sections 3 and 4). Applications and results are the subject of the sections 5 and 6.</Paragraph>
