Building an end-to-end text reading system based on a packed representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We previously proposed a packed graphical representation to succinctly represent a huge number of alternative semantic representations of a given sentence. We also showed that this representation could improve text interpretation accuracy considerably because the system could postpone resolving ambiguity until more evidence accumulates. This paper discusses our plan to build an end-to-end text reading system based on our packed representation.
