We describe and demonstrate the effectiveness of a method of predicting protein secondary structures, sheet regions in particular, using a class of stochastic tree grammars as rep...
Factorization is the operation of transforming a production in a Linear Context-Free Rewriting System (LCFRS) into two simpler productions by factoring out a subset of the nonterm...
This paper studies the computational complexity of disambiguation under probabilistic tree-grammars as in (Bod, 1992; Schabes and Waters, 1993). It presents a proof that the follo...
according to this definition2. Each elementary tree is constrained to have at least one terminal at its frontier which serves as 'head' (or 'anchor'). Sentence...
Much of the power of probabilistic methods in modelling language comes from their ability to compare several derivations for the same string in the language. An important starting...
