Dependency-length minimization in natural and artificial languages
A wide range of evidence points to a preference for syntactic structures in which dependencies are short. Here we examine the question: what kinds of dependency configurations min...

Adaptive expressiveness: virtual conversational agents that can align to their interaction partner
Speakers in dialogue tend to adapt to each other by starting to use similar lexical items, syntactic structures, or gestures. This behaviour, called alignment, may serve important...

On the Structural Complexity of Natural Language Sentences
The objective of this pal)er is to [brmalize the intuition al)out l,he comph;xity of syntactic structures. We propose a definition of structm:al COml)h'xity such that sentenc...

Automatically Extracting and Comparing Lexicalized Grammars for Different Languages
In this paper, we present a quantitative comparison between the syntactic structures of three languages: English, Chinese and Korean. This is made possible by first extracting Lex...

A Discriminative Model for Tree-to-Tree Translation
This paper proposes a statistical, treeto-tree model for producing translations. Two main contributions are as follows: (1) a method for the extraction of syntactic structures wit...

Attribute-Based and Value-Based Clustering: An Evaluation
In most research on concept acquisition from corpora, concepts are modeled as vectors of relations extracted from syntactic structures. In the case of modifiers, these relations o...

Incremental CFG Parsing with Statistical Lexical Dependencies
Incremental parsing with a context free grammar produces partial syntactic structures for an initial fragment on the word-by-word basis. Owing to the syntactic ambiguity, however,...
