This paper describes an incremental parser and an unsupervised learning algorithm for inducing this parser from plain text. The parser uses a representation for syntactic structur...
This paper describes a hybrid parsing method for Japanese which uses both a hand-crafted grammar and a statistical technique. The key feature of our system is that in order to est...
Corpus-based grammar induction generally relies on hand-parsed training data to learn the structure of the language. Unfortunately, the cost of building large annotated corpora is...
Abstract. We introduce LTAG-spinal, a novel variant of traditional Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar (LTAG) with desirable linguistic, computational and statistical properties. Un...
Recent research has demonstrated the strong performance of hidden Markov models applied to information extraction--the task of populating database slots with corresponding phrases...
