Modeling Attachment Decisions with a Probabilistic Parser: The Case of Head Final Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an incremental, two-stage probabilistic model of human parsing for German. The model is broad coverage, i.e., it assigns sentence structure to previously unseen text with high accuracy. It also makes incremental predictions of the attachment decisions for PP attachment ambiguities. We test the model against reading time data from the literature and find that it makes correct predictions for verb second sentences; however, the model is not able to account for reading times data for verb final structures because attachment preferences in our training data do not match those determined experimentally. We argue that this points to more general limitations with our type of probabilistic model when it comes to realizing processing strategies that are independent of the data the parsing model is trained on.

Studying impressive parameters on the performance of Persian probabilistic context free grammar parser
In linguistics, a tree bank is a parsed text corpus that annotates syntactic or semantic sentence structure. The exploitation of tree bank data has been important ever since the first large-scale tree bank, The Penn Treebank, was published. However, although originating in computational linguistics, the value of tree bank is becoming more widely appreciated in linguistics research as a whole. F...
متن کاملFeature Engineering in Persian Dependency Parser
Dependency parser is one of the most important fundamental tools in the natural language processing, which extracts structure of sentences and determines the relations between words based on the dependency grammar. The dependency parser is proper for free order languages, such as Persian. In this paper, data-driven dependency parser has been developed with the help of phrase-structure parser fo...

This article introduces a general framework of multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic roughsets (MG-FPRSs) models in multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic approximation space over twouniverses. Four types of MG-FPRSs are established, by the four different conditional probabilitiesof fuzzy event. For different constraints on parameters, we obtain four kinds of each type MG-FPRSs...
متن کاملChinese Dependency Parsing with Large Scale Automatically Constructed Case Structures
This paper proposes an approach using large scale case structures, which are automatically constructed from both a small tagged corpus and a large raw corpus, to improve Chinese dependency parsing. The case structure proposed in this paper has two characteristics: (1) it relaxes the predicate of a case structure to be all types of words which behaves as a head; (2) it is not categorized by sema...

Mathematical modeling based on a probabilistic approach for making decisions for organ transplantation can be successfully employed in cases when the choice of decisions can affect the results produced. In this study, the minimum probability of success required for organ transplantion in case of multi-donors is determined. The governing equations are constructed in terms of probabilities and so...
