چکیده

We compare the accuracy of a statistical parse ranking model trained from a fully-annotated portion of the Susanne treebank with one trained from unlabeled partially-bracketed sentences derived from this treebank and from the Penn Treebank. We demonstrate that confidence-based semi-supervised techniques similar to self-training outperform expectation maximization when both are constrained by partial bracketing. Both methods based on partially-bracketed training data outperform the fully supervised technique, and both can, in principle, be applied to any statistical parser whose output is consistent with such partial-bracketing. We also explore tuning the model to a different domain and the effect of in-domain data in the semi-supervised training processes.

Ambiguity-aware Ensemble Training for Semi-supervised Dependency Parsing

This paper proposes a simple yet effective framework for semi-supervised dependency parsing at entire tree level, referred to as ambiguity-aware ensemble training. Instead of only using 1best parse trees in previous work, our core idea is to utilize parse forest (ambiguous labelings) to combine multiple 1-best parse trees generated from diverse parsers on unlabeled data. With a conditional rand...

Generalizing a Strongly Lexicalized Parser using Unlabeled Data

Statistical parsers trained on labeled data suffer from sparsity, both grammatical and lexical. For parsers based on strongly lexicalized grammar formalisms (such as CCG, which has complex lexical categories but simple combinatory rules), the problem of sparsity can be isolated to the lexicon. In this paper, we show that semi-supervised Viterbi-EM can be used to extend the lexicon of a generati...

Semi-Supervised Learning for Semantic Parsing using Support Vector Machines

We present a method for utilizing unannotated sentences to improve a semantic parser which maps natural language (NL) sentences into their formal meaning representations (MRs). Given NL sentences annotated with their MRs, the initial supervised semantic parser learns the mapping by training Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for every production in the MR grammar. Our new method applies t...

The information regularization framework for semi-supervised learning

In recent years, the study of classification shifted to algorithms for training the classifier from data that may be missing the class label. While traditional supervised classifiers already have the ability to cope with some incomplete data, the new type of classifiers do not view unlabeled data as an anomaly, and can learn from data sets in which the large majority of training points are unla...
