Probing The Space Of Grammatical Variation: Induction Of Cross-Lingual Grammatical Constraints From Treebanks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper reports on a detailed quantitative analysis of distributional language data of both Italian and Czech, highlighting the relative contribution of a number of distributed grammatical factors to sentence-based identification of subjects and direct objects. The work uses a Maximum Entropy model of stochastic resolution of conflicting grammatical constraints and is demonstrably capable of putting explanatory theoretical accounts to the test of usage-based empirical verification.

Searching treebanks for functional constraints: cross-lingual experiments in grammatical relation assignment
We report here on a detailed quantitative analysis of distributional language data of both Italian and Czech, highlighting the relative contribution of a number of distributed grammatical factors to sentence-based identification of subjects and direct objects. The work is based on a Maximum Entropy model of stochastic resolution of grammatical conflicting constraints, and is demonstrably capabl...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Syntactically Informed Distributed Word Representations
We develop a novel cross-lingual word representation model which injects syntactic information through dependencybased contexts into a shared cross-lingual word vector space. The model, termed CLDEPEMB, is based on the following assumptions: (1) dependency relations are largely language-independent, at least for related languages and prominent dependency links such as direct objects, as evidenc...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Syntax: Relating Grammatical Framework with Universal Dependencies
GF (Grammatical Framework) and UD (Universal Dependencies) are two different approaches using shared syntactic descriptions for multiple languages. GF is a categorial grammar approach using abstract syntax trees and hand-written grammars, which define both generation and parsing. UD is a dependency approach driven by annotated treebanks and statistical parsers. In closer study, the grammatical ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Genetic Programming and Grammatical Evolution for Evolving Data Structures
The research presented in the paper forms part of a larger initiative aimed at automatic algorithm induction using machine learning. This paper compares the performance of two machine learning techniques, namely, genetic programming and a variation of genetic programming, grammatical evolution, for automatic algorithm induction. The application domain used to evaluate both the approaches is the...
متن کاملGrammatical Subject in Results and Discussion Section of Research Articles: Disciplinary Variations
Frequencies and discourse functions of grammatical subject types were investigated in a corpus of forty results and discussion sections selected from four disciplines (Applied Linguistics, Psychology, Chemistry, and Environmental Engineering). The results and discussion sections were selected from research articles that were published in 2008-2012 issues of prestigious high journals of ...
