Learning Accurate, Compact, and Interpretable Tree Annotation
We present an automatic approach to tree annotation in which basic nonterminal symbols are alternately split and merged to maximize the likelihood of a training treebank. Starting with a simple X-bar grammar, we learn a new grammar whose non-terminals are subsymbols of the original nontermi-nals. In contrast with previous work, we are able to split various… (More)
Improved Inference for Unlexicalized Parsing
We present several improvements to unlexicalized parsing with hierarchically state-split PCFGs. First, we present a novel coarse-to-fine method in which a grammar's own hierarchical projections are used for incremental pruning, including a method for efficiently computing projections of a grammar without a treebank. In our experiments, hierarchical pruning… (More)
Universal Dependencies v1: A Multilingual Treebank Collection
Cross-linguistically consistent annotation is necessary for sound comparative evaluation and cross-lingual learning experiments. It is also useful for multilingual system development and comparative linguistic studies. Universal Dependencies is an open community effort to create cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages within a… (More)
Multi-Source Transfer of Delexicalized Dependency Parsers
We present a simple method for transferring dependency parsers from source languages with labeled training data to target languages without labeled training data. We first demonstrate that delexicalized parsers can be directly transferred between languages, producing significantly higher accuracies than unsu-pervised parsers. We then use a constraint driven… (More)
Universal Dependency Annotation for Multilingual Parsing
We present a new collection of treebanks with homogeneous syntactic dependency annotation for six languages: German, English, Swedish, Spanish, French and Korean. To show the usefulness of such a resource, we present a case study of cross-lingual transfer parsing with more reliable evaluation than has been possible before. This 'universal' treebank is made… (More)
Grammar as a Foreign Language
Syntactic parsing is a fundamental problem in computational linguistics and natural language processing. Traditional approaches to parsing are highly complex and problem specific. Recently, Sutskever et al. (2014) presented a task-agnostic method for learning to map input sequences to output sequences that achieved strong results on a large scale machine… (More)
Globally Normalized Transition-Based Neural Networks
We introduce a globally normalized transition-based neural network model that achieves state-of-the-art part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing and sentence compression results. Our model is a simple feed-forward neural network that operates on a task-specific transition system, yet achieves comparable or better accuracies than recurrent models. The key… (More)
Structured Training for Neural Network Transition-Based Parsing
We present structured perceptron training for neural network transition-based dependency parsing. We learn the neural network representation using a gold corpus augmented by a large number of automatically parsed sentences. Given this fixed network representation, we learn a final layer using the struc-tured perceptron with beam-search decoding. On the Penn… (More)
