This paper proposes a dependency parsing method that uses bilingual constraints to improve the accuracy of parsing bilingual texts (bitexts). In our method, a targetside tree frag...
Shallow parsers are usually assumed to be trained on noise-free material, drawn from the same distribution as the testing material. However, when either the training set is noisy ...
Syntactic consistency is the preference to reuse a syntactic construction shortly after its appearance in a discourse. We present an analysis of the WSJ portion of the Penn Treeba...
In practical applications, decoding speed is very important. Modern structured learning technique adopts template based method to extract millions of features. Complicated templat...
This paper describes the development of QuestionBank, a corpus of 4000 parseannotated questions for (i) use in training parsers employed in QA, and (ii) evaluation of question par...
