Recent Advances in Dependency Grammar

چکیده
Among the variety of proposals currently making the dependency perspective on grammar more concrete, there are several treebanks whose annotation exploits some form of Relational Structure that we can consider a generalization of the fundamental idea of dependency at various degrees and with reference to different types of linguistic knowledge. The paper describes the Relational Structure as the common underlying representation of treebanks which is motivated by both theoretical and task-dependent considerations. Then it presents a system for the annotation of the Relational Structure in treebanks, called Augmented Relational Structure, which allows for a systematic annotation of various components of linguistic knowledge crucial in several tasks. Finally, it shows a dependency-based annotation for an Italian treebank, i.e. the Turin University Treebank, that implements the Augmented Relational Structure.

Enhancing FreeLing Rule-Based Dependency Grammars with Subcategorization Frames
Despite the recent advances in parsing, significant efforts are needed to improve the current parsers performance, such as the enhancement of the argument/adjunct recognition. There is evidence that verb subcategorization frames can contribute to parser accuracy, but a number of issues remain open. The main aim of this paper is to show how subcategorization frames acquired from a syntactically ...
متن کاملAdvances in discriminative dependency parsing
Achieving a greater understanding of natural language syntax and parsing is a critical step in producing useful natural language processing systems. In this thesis, we focus on the formalism of dependency grammar as it allows one to model important headmodifier relationships with a minimum of extraneous structure. Recent research in dependency parsing has highlighted the discriminative structur...
متن کاملDependency Treelet Translation: Syntactically Informed Phrasal SMT
We describe a novel approach to statistical machine translation that combines syntactic information in the source language with recent advances in phrasal translation. This method requires a source-language dependency parser, target language word segmentation and an unsupervised word alignment component. We align a parallel corpus, project the source dependency parse onto the target sentence, e...
متن کاملLocal Ambiguity Packing and Discontinuity in German
We report on recent advances in HPSG parsing of German with local ambiguity packing (Oepen and Carroll, 2000), achieving a speed-up factor of 2 on a balanced test-suite. In contrast to earlier studies carried out for English using the same packing algorithm, we show that restricting semantic features only is insufficient for achieving acceptable runtime performance with a German HPSG grammar. I...
متن کاملStochastic Categorial Grammars
Statistical methods have turned out to be quite successful in natural language processing. During the recent years, several models of stochastic grammars have been proposed, including models based on lexicalised context-free grammars [3], tree adjoining grammars [15], or dependency grammars [2, 5]. In this exploratory paper, we propose a new model of stochastic grammar, whose originality derive...
