چکیده

Incrementality is a basic feature of the human language processor. There is a considerable amount of objective data that humans build-up interpretations of the sentences before perceiving the end of the sentence (Marslen-Wilson, 1973; Kamide et al., 2003), and there is also evidence to support the idea that such incremental interpretation is based on fast, incremental construction of syntactic relations1 (see, for example Kamide et al. (2003); Sturt and Lombardo (2005)) and which components of a syntactic parser account for incrementality. Steedman proposed a general anatomy to classify a syntactic parser (Steedman, 2000). In this schema we can distinguish three main components: 1. a grammar, 2. a parsing algorithm and 3. an oracle. The grammar is a static object, usually defined in a declarative form, which contains competence-related information about the grammaticality of the sentences. The parsing algorithm can be divided into two parts: a parsing strategy specifying the order of application of the grammar rules (e.g. left-to-right, bottom-up, top-down),

Constituency to Dependency Translation with Forests

Tree-to-string systems (and their forestbased extensions) have gained steady popularity thanks to their simplicity and efficiency, but there is a major limitation: they are unable to guarantee the grammaticality of the output, which is explicitly modeled in string-to-tree systems via targetside syntax. We thus propose to combine the advantages of both, and present a novel constituency-to-depend...

Towards String-To-Tree Neural Machine Translation

We present a simple method to incorporate syntactic information about the target language in a neural machine translation system by translating into linearized, lexicalized constituency trees. Experiments on the WMT16 German-English news translation task shown improved BLEU scores when compared to a syntax-agnostic NMT baseline trained on the same dataset. An analysis of the translations from t...

Diagnostics for Constituents: Dependency, Constituency, and the Status of Function Words

This contribution delivers two messages: 1) that the tests for constituents that are widely employed in linguistics and syntax textbooks are more congruent with dependency-based syntax than with constituency-based syntax and 2) that these same tests support the conventional analysis of function words, that is, the analysis that takes most function words (auxiliary verbs, adpositions, subordinat...
