The Information-Processing Difficulty Of Incremental Parsing
نویسنده
چکیده
When an incremental parser gets the next word, its expectations about upcoming grammatical structures can change. When a word greatly constrains these grammatical expectations, uncertainty is reduced. This elimination of possibilities constitutes information processing work. Formalizing this notion of information processing work yields a complexity metric that predicts human repetition accuracy scores across a systematic class of linguistic phenomena, the Accessibility Hierarchy of relativizable grammatical relations.

In this paper, the role of Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging for parsing in automatic processing of the Persian language is studied. To this end, the impact of the quality of POS tagging as well as the impact of the quantity of information available in the POS tags on parsing are studied. To reach the goals, three parsing scenarios are proposed and compared. In the first scenario, the parser assigns...
متن کاملEntropy Reduction correlates with temporal lobe activity
Using the Entropy Reduction incremental complexity metric, we relate high gamma power signals from the brains of epileptic patients to incremental stages of syntactic analysis in English and French. We find that signals recorded intracranially from the anterior Inferior Temporal Sulcus (aITS) and the posterior Inferior Temporal Gyrus (pITG) correlate with wordby-word Entropy Reduction values de...

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
متن کاملLookahead In Deterministic Left-Corner Parsing
To support incremental interpretation, any model of human sentence processing must not only process the sentence incrementally, it must to some degree restrict the number of analyses which it produces for any sentence prefix. Deterministic parsing takes the extreme position that there can only be one analysis for any sentence prefix. Experiments with an incremental statistical parser show that ...
متن کاملComparing Sensory Information Processing and Alexithymia between People with Substance Dependency and Normal
Background: Sensory information processing and alexithymia are two important factors in determining behavioral reactions. Some studies explain the effect of the sensitivity of sensory processing and alexithymia in the tendency to substance abuse. Giving that, the aim of the current study was to compare the styles of sensory information processing and alexithymia between substance-dependent peop...
