Automatic Lexical Functional Grammar Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the modifications in automatic Lexical Functional Grammar development technique. It proposes a new syntax customized from base syntax pattern of a regular expression based CFG template. This modification is helpful to add generalization in these templates with the coordination of constraint solver of LFG parsers. Further this paper reports the results of the system that has been developed using this approach. Keywords-Regular expression based templates; LFG annotation; F-Structure; F-Description; Structural Correspondence;

Using F-structures in Machine Translation Evaluation
Despite a growing interest in automatic evaluation methods for Machine Translation (MT) quality, most existing automatic metrics are still limited to surface comparison of translation and reference strings. In this paper we show how Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) labelled dependencies obtained from an automatic parse can be used to assess the quality of MT on a deeper linguistic level, giving...
متن کاملTreebank-Based Multilingual Unification-Grammar Development
Broad-coverage, deep unification grammar development is time-consuming and costly. This problem can be exacerbated in multilingual grammar development scenarios. Recently (Cahill et al., 2002) presented a treebank-based methodology to semi-automatically create broadcoverage, deep, unification grammar resources for English. In this paper we present a project which adapts this model to a multilin...
متن کاملA Lexical Functional Grammar System in Prolog
This paper describes a system in PROLOG for the automatic transforination of a grammar, written in LFG formalism, into a DCG-based parser. It demonstrates the main principles of the transformation, the representation of f-structures and constraints, the treatment of long-distance dependencies, and left rccursion. Finally some problem areas of the system and possibilities for overcoming them are...
متن کاملA Reversible and Reusable Morpho-Lexical Description of Romanian
Constructing a natural language dictionary and/or a grammar for computational use is a farreaching project, requiring very important human and material resources. Generalisation of the lexical approaches in natural language modelling confers an essential role to the dictionary in every system for automatic natural language processing. More and more information, which was traditionally encoded b...
متن کاملError Recognition and Feedback with Lexical Functional Grammar
This paper describes the error recognition module of an interactive ICALL system with a special focus on the underlying grammar theory. Using the system, language learners are invited to produce complete written sentences in small question-answer dialogs with the computer. This setting challenges learners to use language interactively in order to enhance the development of communicative compete...
