Syntactic word reordering is essential for translations across different grammar structures between syntactically distant languagepairs. In this paper, we propose to embed local a...
Most statistical parsers have used the grammar induction approach, in which a stochastic grammar is induced from a treebank. An alternative approach is to induce a controller for ...
Parser disambiguation with precision grammars generally takes place via statistical ranking of the parse yield of the grammar using a supervised parse selection model. In the stan...
Tree Adjoining Grammars have well-known advantages, but are typically considered too difficult for practical systems. We demonstrate that, when done right, adjoining improves tran...
Machine learning and statistical methods have yielded impressive results in a wide variety of natural language processing tasks. These advances have generally been regarded as eng...
