We examine the expressive power of probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs), with a special focus on the use of probabilities as a mechanism for reducing ambiguity by filtering ...
It is widely conjectured that the excellent ROC performance of biological vision systems is due in large part to the exploitation of context at each of many levels in a part/whole...
This paper presents a first efficient implementation of a weighted deductive CYK parser for Probabilistic Linear ContextFree Rewriting Systems (PLCFRS), together with context-summ...
We present a noun chunker for German which is based on a head-lexicalised probabilistic contextfl'ee grammar. A manually developed grammar was semi-automatically extended wit...
This paper proposes a distributional model of word use and word meaning which is derived purely from a body of text, and then applies this model to determine whether certain words...
