We present an integrated probabilistic model for Japanese syntactic and case structure analysis. Syntactic and case structure are simultaneously analyzed based on wide-coverage case frames that are constructed from a huge raw corpus in an unsupervised manner. This model selects the syntactic and case structure that has the highest generative probability. We evaluate both syntactic structure and...

Dependency parser is one of the most important fundamental tools in the natural language processing, which extracts structure of sentences and determines the relations between words based on the dependency grammar. The dependency parser is proper for free order languages, such as Persian. In this paper, data-driven dependency parser has been developed with the help of phrase-structure parser fo...

Different functions have been proposed for the hand gestures speakers spontaneously produce while speaking. The Information Packaging Hypothesis (Kita, 2000) states that gestures can structure rich spatio-motoric information into packages suitable for speaking. It therefore predicts that how information is divided over different gestures affects how it is divided over different processing units...
