Abstract. Simple families of increasing trees can be constructed from simply generated tree families, if one considers for every tree of size n all its increasing labellings, i.e.,...
In Data Oriented Parsing (DOP), an annotated corpus is used as a stochastic grammar. An input string is parsed by combining subtrees from the corpus. As a consequence, one parse t...
We present a general framework for defining priors on model structure and sampling from the posterior using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The key ideas are that structure pri...
Bayesian networks (BNs) have been widely used as a model for knowledge representation and probabilistic inferences. However, the single probability representation of conditional d...
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...
