We use prior and boundary estimates as the approximation of outside probability and establish our beam thresholding strategies based on these estimates. Lexical items, e.g. head wo...
Pipeline computation, in which a task is decomposed into several stages that are solved sequentially, is a common computational strategy in natural language processing. The key pr...
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...
It is a tacit assumption of much linguisticinquiry that alldistinctderivations of a string should assign distinct meanings. But despite the tidinessof such derivational uniqueness...
