چکیده

Copyright 2008 ABSTRACT This paper discusses the Greedy Merge Model used for an unsupervised grammar induction system for the Filipino language. The approach attempts to address the current state of Philippine linguistic resources, specifically the formal grammars, which are insubstantial for robust analysis. The Greedy Merge Model results show an F1 measure of 69%. Generated grammar rules are presented, and current limitations of the results are discussed.

Constituent Structure for Filipino: Induction through Probabilistic Approaches

The current state of Philippine linguistic resources, which includes formal grammars, electronic dictionaries and corpora are not yet significant to address industrialstrength language technologies. This paper discusses a computational approach in automatically estimating constituent structures from a corpus using unsupervised probabilistic approaches. Two models are presented and results show ...

Developing an Unsupervised Grammar Checker for Filipino Using Hybrid N-grams as Grammar Rules

This study focuses on using hybrid n-grams as grammar rules for detecting grammatical errors and providing corrections in Filipino. These grammar rules are derived from grammatically-correct and tagged texts which are made up of part-of-speech (POS) tags, lemmas, and surface words sequences. Due to the structure of the rules used by this system, it presents an opportunity to have an unsupervise...

Unsupervised Learning of Probabilistic Context-Free Grammar using Iterative Biclustering (Extended Version)

This paper presents PCFG-BCL, an unsupervised algorithm that learns a probabilistic context-free grammar (PCFG) from positive samples. The algorithm acquires rules of an unknown PCFG through iterative biclustering of bigrams in the training corpus. Our analysis shows that this procedure uses a greedy approach to adding rules such that each set of rules that is added to the grammar results in th...

Induction of Greedy Controllers for Deterministic Treebank Parsers

Most statistical parsers have used the grammar induction approach, in which a stochastic grammar is induced from a treebank. An alternative approach is to induce a controller for a given parsing automaton. Such controllers may be stochastic; here, we focus on greedy controllers, which result in deterministic parsers. We use decision trees to learn the controllers. The resulting parsers are surp...
