Translating HPSG-Style Outputs of a Robust Parser into Typed Dynamic Logic
The present paper proposes a method by which to translate outputs of a robust HPSG parser into semantic representations of Typed Dynamic Logic (TDL), a dynamic plural semantics de...

Exact Decoding for Jointly Labeling and Chunking Sequences
There are two decoding algorithms essential to the area of natural language processing. One is the Viterbi algorithm for linear-chain models, such as HMMs or CRFs. The other is th...
