Joint Evaluation of Morphological Segmentation and Syntactic Parsing
We present novel metrics for parse evaluation in joint segmentation and parsing scenarios where the gold sequence of terminals is not known in advance. The protocol uses distance-...

An Exploration of Forest-to-String Translation: Does Translation Help or Hurt Parsing?
Syntax-based translation models that operate on the output of a source-language parser have been shown to perform better if allowed to choose from a set of possible parses. In thi...
