Synchronous Forest Substitution Grammars
نویسنده
چکیده
The expressive power of synchronous forest (tree-sequence) substitution grammars (SFSG) is studied in relation to multi bottom-up tree transducers (MBOT). It is proved that SFSG have exactly the same expressive power as compositions of an inverse MBOT with an MBOT. This result is used to derive complexity results for SFSG and the fact that compositions of an MBOT with an inverse MBOT can compute tree translations that cannot be computed by any SFSG, although the class of tree translations computable by MBOT is closed under composition.

A Tree Transducer Model for Synchronous Tree-Adjoining Grammars
A characterization of the expressive power of synchronous tree-adjoining grammars (STAGs) in terms of tree transducers (or equivalently, synchronous tree substitution grammars) is developed. Essentially, a STAG corresponds to an extended tree transducer that uses explicit substitution in both the input and output. This characterization allows the easy integration of STAG into toolkits for exten...
متن کاملA Statistical Machine Translation Model Based on a Synthetic Synchronous Grammar
Recently, various synchronous grammars are proposed for syntax-based machine translation, e.g. synchronous context-free grammar and synchronous tree (sequence) substitution grammar, either purely formal or linguistically motivated. Aiming at combining the strengths of different grammars, we describes a synthetic synchronous grammar (SSG), which tentatively in this paper, integrates a synchronou...
متن کاملSynchronous Grammars as Tree Transducers
Tree transducer formalisms were developed in the formal language theory community as generalizations of finite-state transducers from strings to trees. Independently, synchronous tree-substitution and -adjoining grammars arose in the computational linguistics community as a means to augment strictly syntactic formalisms to provide for parallel semantics. We present the first synthesis of these ...
متن کاملPreservation of Recognizability for Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammars
We consider synchronous tree substitution grammars (STSG). With the help of a characterization of the expressive power of STSG in terms of weighted tree bimorphisms, we show that both the forward and the backward application of an STSG preserve recognizability of weighted tree languages in all reasonable cases. As a consequence, both the domain and the range of an STSG without chain rules are r...
متن کاملHybrid text simplification using synchronous dependency grammars with hand-written and automatically harvested rules
We present an approach to text simplification based on synchronous dependency grammars. The higher level of abstraction afforded by dependency representations allows for a linguistically sound treatment of complex constructs requiring reordering and morphological change, such as conversion of passive voice to active. We present a synchronous grammar formalism in which it is easy to write rules ...
