We present a document understanding system in which the arrangement of lines of text and block separators within a document are modeled by stochastic context free grammars. A gram...

Abstract. Classic parsing methods are based on complete search techniques to find the different interpretations of a sentence. However, the size of the search space increases expon...
We examine the expressive power of probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs), with a special focus on the use of probabilities as a mechanism for reducing ambiguity by filtering ...
This paper studies the computational complexity of disambiguation under probabilistic tree-grammars as in (Bod, 1992; Schabes and Waters, 1993). It presents a proof that the follo...
A subpansive tree is a rooted tree that gives a partial order of nonterminal symbols of a context-free grammar. We formalize subpansive trees as background knowledge of CFGs, and i...
