Building compositional semantics and higher-order inference system for a wide-coverage Japanese CCG parser
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a system that compositionally maps outputs of a wide-coverage Japanese CCG parser onto semantic representations and performs automated inference in higher-order logic. The system is evaluated on a textual entailment dataset. It is shown that the system solves inference problems that focus on a variety of complex linguistic phenomena, including those that are difficult to represent in the standard first-order logic.

Higher-order logical inference with compositional semantics
We present a higher-order inference system based on a formal compositional semantics and the wide-coverage CCG parser. We develop an improved method to bridge between the parser and semantic composition. The system is evaluated on the FraCaS test suite. In contrast to the widely held view that higher-order logic is unsuitable for efficient logical inferences, the results show that a system base...
متن کاملBuilding Deep Dependency Structures with a Wide-Coverage CCG Parser
This paper describes a wide-coverage statistical parser that uses Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) to derive dependency structures. The parser differs from most existing wide-coverage treebank parsers in capturing the long-range dependencies inherent in constructions such as coordination, extraction, raising and control, as well as the standard local predicate-argument dependencies. A set o...

متن کاملThe Importance of Supertagging for Wide-Coverage CCG Parsing
This paper describes the role of supertagging in a wide-coverage CCG parser which uses a log-linear model to select an analysis. The supertagger reduces the derivation space over which model estimation is performed, reducing the space required for discriminative training. It also dramatically increases the speed of the parser. We show that large increases in speed can be obtained by tightly int...
متن کاملA Type-Driven Tensor-Based Semantics for CCG
This paper shows how the tensor-based semantic framework of Coecke et al. can be seamlessly integrated with Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). The integration follows from the observation that tensors are linear maps, and hence can be manipulated using the combinators of CCG, including type-raising and composition. Given the existence of robust, wide-coverage CCG parsers, this opens up the p...
