A Best-First Probabilistic Shift-Reduce Parser
Recently proposed deterministic classifierbased parsers (Nivre and Scholz, 2004; Sagae and Lavie, 2005; Yamada and Matsumoto, 2003) offer attractive alternatives to generative sta...

Reranking and Self-Training for Parser Adaptation
Statistical parsers trained and tested on the Penn Wall Street Journal (WSJ) treebank have shown vast improvements over the last 10 years. Much of this improvement, however, is ba...

Adapting a Lexicalized-Grammar Parser to Contrasting Domains
Most state-of-the-art wide-coverage parsers are trained on newspaper text and suffer a loss of accuracy in other domains, making parser adaptation a pressing issue. In this paper ...
