Coupling CCG and Hybrid Logic Dependency Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Categorial grammar has traditionally used the λ-calculus to represent meaning. We present an alternative, dependency-based perspective on linguistic meaning and situate it in the computational setting. This perspective is formalized in terms of hybrid logic and has a rich yet perspicuous propositional ontology that enables a wide variety of semantic phenomena to be represented in a single meaning formalism. Finally, we show how we can couple this formalization to Combinatory Categorial Grammar to produce interpretations compositionally.

Review: Realization with CCG
Here I give an overview of recent work on natural language realization with Combinatory Categorial Grammar, done by Michael White and his colleagues, with some more specific descriptions of the algorithms used, where they were unclear to me. In particular, I focus on the work presented in his 2007 paper [5], in which White et al describe a process for extracting a grammar from the CCGBank and u...
متن کاملUsing CCG categories to improve Hindi dependency parsing
We show that informative lexical categories from a strongly lexicalised formalism such as Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) can improve dependency parsing of Hindi, a free word order language. We first describe a novel way to obtain a CCG lexicon and treebank from an existing dependency treebank, using a CCG parser. We use the output of a supertagger trained on the CCGbank as a feature for a...
متن کاملJoint A∗ CCG Parsing and Semantic Role Labeling
Joint models of syntactic and semantic parsing have the potential to improve performance on both tasks—but to date, the best results have been achieved with pipelines. We introduce a joint model using CCG, which is motivated by the close link between CCG syntax and semantics. Semantic roles are recovered by labelling the deep dependency structures produced by the grammar. Furthermore, because C...
متن کاملMink: An Incremental Data-Driven Dependency Parser with Integrated Conversion to Semantics
While there are several data-driven dependency parsers, there is still a gap with regards to incrementality. However, as shown in Brick and Scheutz [3], incremental processing is necessary in human-robot interaction. As is shown in Nivre et al. [12], dependency parsing is well-suited for mostly incremental processing. However, there is as of yet no dependency parser that combines syntax and sem...
متن کاملA Type-Driven Tensor-Based Semantics for CCG
This paper shows how the tensor-based semantic framework of Coecke et al. can be seamlessly integrated with Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). The integration follows from the observation that tensors are linear maps, and hence can be manipulated using the combinators of CCG, including type-raising and composition. Given the existence of robust, wide-coverage CCG parsers, this opens up the p...
