A Quantum Computing Approach to Part-of-Speech Tagging: A Quantum Viterbi decoding Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of quantum mechanics has led to some radical changes in the theory of computation. A quantum theory of computing has come up and has been applied to give fascinating theoretical results for problems such as prime factorization (Shor, 1994) for which polynomial-time algorithms are not yet known on a classical computer. In this paper, we take a look at whether they can speed up the existing algorithms for common tasks in Natural Language Processing. We look at the classical solution to the POS tagging problem via the use of the Viterbi algorithm and give a quantum version of the Viterbi algorithm which is faster than its classical counterpart.

Efficient Staggered Decoding for Sequence Labeling
The Viterbi algorithm is the conventional decoding algorithm most widely adopted for sequence labeling. Viterbi decoding is, however, prohibitively slow when the label set is large, because its time complexity is quadratic in the number of labels. This paper proposes an exact decoding algorithm that overcomes this problem. A novel property of our algorithm is that it efficiently reduces the lab...

New convolution-based multiple-stream error-control coding and decoding schemes are introduced. The new coding method applies the reversibility property in the convolution-based encoder for multiple-stream error-control encoding and implements the reversibility property in the new reversible Viterbi decoding algorithm for multiple-stream error-correction decoding. The complete design of quantum...
متن کاملJoint POS Tagging and Text Normalization for Informal Text
Text normalization and part-of-speech (POS) tagging for social media data have been investigated recently, however, prior work has treated them separately. In this paper, we propose a joint Viterbi decoding process to determine each token’s POS tag and non-standard token’s correct form at the same time. In order to evaluate our approach, we create two new data sets with POS tag labels and non-s...
متن کاملPosterior Decoding for Generative Constituent-Context Grammar Induction
In this project, we study the problem of natural language grammar induction from a database of sentence part-of-speech (POS) tags. We then present an implementation of the EM-based generative constituent-context model by Klein and Manning. We also present two posterior decoding approaches to be used in conjunction with the constituent-context model and evaluate their performance against regular...
