Probabilistic Frame-Semantic Parsing

This paper contributes a formalization of frame-semantic parsing as a structure prediction problem and describes an implemented parser that transforms an English sentence into a frame-semantic representation. It finds words that evoke FrameNet frames, selects frames for them, and locates the arguments for each frame. The system uses two featurebased, discriminative probabilistic (log-linear) mo...

Parsing with Probabilistic Grammars

This paper describes some recent developments in the area of natural language parsing. Probabilistic Grammars are, in principle, grammars enriched with probabilities to distinguish between probable and improbable analyses of a sentence. The first part of the paper introduces the notation of Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars, together with a general algorithm for PCFG top-down parsing and some...

Probabilistic Parsing in Action Recognition

This report addresses the problem of using probabilistic formal languages to describe and understand actions with explicit structure. The paper explores a probabilistic mechanisms of parsing the uncertain input string aided by a stochastic context-free grammar. This method, originating in speech recognition, allows for combination of a statistical recognition approach with a syntactical one in ...
