Integrating Syntactic Priming into an Incremental Probabilistic Parser, with an Application to Psycholinguistic Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The psycholinguistic literature provides evidence for syntactic priming, i.e., the tendency to repeat structures. This paper describes a method for incorporating priming into an incremental probabilistic parser. Three models are compared, which involve priming of rules between sentences, within sentences, and within coordinate structures. These models simulate the reading time advantage for parallel structures found in human data, and also yield a small increase in overall parsing accuracy.

Deriving lexical and syntactic expectation-based measures for psycholinguistic modeling via incremental top-down parsing
A number of recent publications have made use of the incremental output of stochastic parsers to derive measures of high utility for psycholinguistic modeling, following the work of Hale (2001; 2003; 2006). In this paper, we present novel methods for calculating separate lexical and syntactic surprisal measures from a single incremental parser using a lexicalized PCFG. We also present an approx...
متن کاملIncremental Semantic Role Labeling with Tree Adjoining Grammar
We introduce the task of incremental semantic role labeling (iSRL), in which semantic roles are assigned to incomplete input (sentence prefixes). iSRL is the semantic equivalent of incremental parsing, and is useful for language modeling, sentence completion, machine translation, and psycholinguistic modeling. We propose an iSRL system that combines an incremental TAG parser with a semantically...
متن کاملRobust Probabilistic Predictive Syntactic Processing
of “Robust Probabilistic Predictive Syntactic Processing” by Brian Edward Roark, Ph.D., Brown University, May, 2001. This thesis presents a broad-coverage probabilistic top-down parser, and its application to the problem of language modeling for speech recognition. The parser builds fully connected derivations incrementally, in a single pass from left-to-right across the string. We argue that t...
متن کاملIncremental, Predictive Parsing with Psycholinguistically Motivated Tree-Adjoining Grammar
Psycholinguistic research shows that key properties of the human sentence processor are incrementality, connectedness (partial structures contain no unattached nodes), and prediction (upcoming syntactic structure is anticipated). There is currently no broad-coverage parsing model with these properties, however. In this article, we present the first broad-coverage probabilistic parser for PLTAG,...
متن کاملبرچسبزنی نقش معنایی جملات فارسی با رویکرد یادگیری مبتنی بر حافظه
Abstract Extracting semantic roles is one of the major steps in representing text meaning. It refers to finding the semantic relations between a predicate and syntactic constituents in a sentence. In this paper we present a semantic role labeling system for Persian, using memory-based learning model and standard features. Our proposed system implements a two-phase architecture to first identify...
