This paper introduces a Maximum Entropy dependency parser based on an efficient kbest Maximum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithm. Although recent work suggests that the edge-factored ...
This paper describes the characteristic features of dependency structures of Japanese spoken language by investigating a spoken dialogue corpus, and proposes a stochastic approach...
An important class of heuristics for constraint satisfaction problems works by sampling information during search in order to inform subsequent decisions. One of these strategies, ...
The objective of the Maximal Constraint Satisfaction Problem (Max-CSP) is to find an instantiation which minimizes the number of constraint violations in a constraint network. In t...
We present an approach to grammar induction that utilizes syntactic universals to improve dependency parsing across a range of languages. Our method uses a single set of manually-...
