We discuss the advantages of lexicalized tree-adjoining grammar as an alternative to lexicalized PCFG for statistical parsing, describingthe induction of a probabilistic LTAG mode...
Unsupervised grammar induction is one of the most difficult works of language processing. Its goal is to extract a grammar representing the language structure using texts without a...
We present three approaches for unsupervised grammar induction that are sensitive to data complexity and apply them to Klein and Manning's Dependency Model with Valence. The ...

When translating among languages that differ substantially in word order, machine translation (MT) systems benefit from syntactic preordering—an approach that uses features fro...
Children are facile at both discovering word boundaries and using those words to build higher-level structures in tandem. Current research treats lexical acquisition and grammar i...
