Lateen EM: Unsupervised Training with Multiple Objectives, Applied to Dependency Grammar Induction
We present new training methods that aim to mitigate local optima and slow convergence in unsupervised training by using additional imperfect objectives. In its simplest form, lat...

Annealing Structural Bias in Multilingual Weighted Grammar Induction
We first show how a structural locality bias can improve the accuracy of state-of-the-art dependency grammar induction models trained by EM from unannotated examples (Klein and Ma...

Variational Inference for Adaptor Grammars
Adaptor grammars extend probabilistic context-free grammars to define prior distributions over trees with "rich get richer" dynamics. Inference for adaptor grammars seek...

Inducing Tree-Substitution Grammars
Inducing a grammar from text has proven to be a notoriously challenging learning task despite decades of research. The primary reason for its difficulty is that in order to induce...
