Consider the examples we have shown in section 3.2.2, for sentence (1), the dependency graph path feature ball → with → bat should have a lower weight since ball rarely is modified by bat, but is often seen through them (e.g., a higher weight should be associated with hit → with → bat).
for sentence (2), our N-gram features will tell us that the prepositional phrase is much more likely to attach to the noun since the dependency graph path feature ball → with → stripe should have a high weight due to the high strength of selectional preference between ball and stripe.
