Any large language processing software relies in its operation on heuristic decisions concerning the strategy of processing. These decisions are usually "hard-wired" int...
It is generally recognized that the common nonterminal labels for syntactic constituents (NP, VP, etc.) do not exhaust the syntactic and semantic information one would like about ...
Common wisdom has it that tile bias of stochastic grammars in favor of shorter deriwttions of a sentence is hamfful and should be redressed. We show that the common wisdom is wron...
This paper presents a method for parsing associative Lambek grammars based on graphtheoretic properties. Connection graphs, which are a simplified version of proof-nets, are actua...
We report grammar inference experiments on partially parsed sentences taken from the Wall Street Journal corpus using the inside-outside algorithm for stochastic context-free gram...
