There exist very lucid explanations of the combinatorial origins of rational and algebraic functions, in particular with respect to regular and context free languages. In the searc...
Leftist grammars can be characterized in terms of rules of the form a → ba and cd → d, without distinction between terminals and nonterminals. They were introduced by Motwani e...
Several mathematical distances between probabilistic languages have been investigated in the literature, motivated by applications in language modeling, computational biology, syn...
We present a regular approximation of Link Grammar, a dependency-type formalism with context-free expressive power, as a first step toward a finite-state joint inference system. Th...

We present a directed Markov random field (MRF) model that combines n-gram models, probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs) and probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) fo...
