Correcting Errors in a Treebank Based on Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammar

چکیده
This paper proposes a method of correcting annotation errors in a treebank. By using a synchronous grammar, the method transforms parse trees containing annotation errors into the ones whose errors are corrected. The synchronous grammar is automatically induced from the treebank. We report an experimental result of applying our method to the Penn Treebank. The result demonstrates that our method corrects syntactic annotation errors with high precision.

متن کاملCorrecting Syntactic Annotation Errors Based on Tree Mining
This paper provides a new method to correct annotation errors in a treebank. The previous error correction method constructs a pseudo parallel corpus where incorrect partial parse trees are paired with correct ones, and extracts error correction rules from the parallel corpus. By applying these rules to a treebank, the method corrects errors. However, this method does not achieve wide coverage ...
متن کاملUsing Tree Transducers for Detecting Errors in a Treebank of Polish
The paper presents a modification — aimed at highly inflectional languages — of a recently proposed error detection method for syntactically annotated corpora. The technique described below is based on Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammar (STSG), i.e. a kind of tree transducer grammar. The method involves induction of STSG rules from a treebank and application of their subset meeting a certain...
متن کاملTree-Based and Forest-Based Translation
The past several years have witnessed rapid advances in syntax-based machine translation, which exploits natural language syntax to guide translation. Depending on the type of input, most of these efforts can be divided into two broad categories: (a) string-based systems whose input is a string, which is simultaneously parsed and translated by a synchronous grammar (Wu, 1997; Chiang, 2005; Gall...
متن کاملAdjoining Tree-to-String Translation
We introduce synchronous tree adjoining grammars (TAG) into tree-to-string translation, which converts a source tree to a target string. Without reconstructing TAG derivations explicitly, our rule extraction algorithm directly learns tree-to-string rules from aligned Treebank-style trees. As tree-to-string translation casts decoding as a tree parsing problem rather than parsing, the decoder sti...
