A Reranking Model for Discourse Segmentation using Subtree Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a discriminative reranking model for the discourse segmentation task, the first step in a discourse parsing system. Our model exploits subtree features to rerank Nbest outputs of a base segmenter, which uses syntactic and lexical features in a CRF framework. Experimental results on the RST Discourse Treebank corpus show that our model outperforms existing discourse segmenters in both settings that use gold standard Penn Treebank parse trees and Stanford parse trees.

Translation reranking using source phrase dependency features
We describe a N-best reranking model based on features that combine sourceside dependency syntactical information and segmentation and alignment information. Specifically, we consider segmentation-aware ”phrase dependency” features.
متن کاملForest Reranking through Subtree Ranking
We propose the subtree ranking approach to parse forest reranking which is a generalization of current perceptron-based reranking methods. For the training of the reranker, we extract competing local subtrees, hence the training instances (candidate subtree sets) are very similar to those used during beamsearch parsing. This leads to better parameter optimization. Another chief advantage of the...
متن کاملWord Lattice Reranking for Chinese Word Segmentation and Part-of-Speech Tagging
In this paper, we describe a new reranking strategy named word lattice reranking, for the task of joint Chinese word segmentation and part-of-speech (POS) tagging. As a derivation of the forest reranking for parsing (Huang, 2008), this strategy reranks on the pruned word lattice, which potentially contains much more candidates while using less storage, compared with the traditional n-best list ...
متن کاملA Reranking Approach for Dependency Parsing with Variable-sized Subtree Features
Employing higher-order subtree structures in graph-based dependency parsing has shown substantial improvement over the accuracy, however suffers from the inefficiency increasing with the order of subtrees. We present a new reranking approach for dependency parsing that can utilize complex subtree representation by applying efficient subtree selection heuristics. We demonstrate the effectiveness...
متن کاملUsing Part-of-Speech Reranking to Improve Chinese Word Segmentation
Chinese word segmentation and Part-ofSpeech (POS) tagging have been commonly considered as two separated tasks. In this paper, we present a system that performs Chinese word segmentation and POS tagging simultaneously. We train a segmenter and a tagger model separately based on linear-chain Conditional Random Fields (CRF), using lexical, morphological and semantic features. We propose an approx...
