[PDF] Top 20 Compound Probabilistic Context Free Grammars for Grammar Induction

... meaningful grammars by simply optimiz- ing log ...this compound PCFG—continuous mixture of PCFGs—the context-free assumptions hold con- ditioned on the latent vector but not uncondition- ally, ... See full document

... Regular expressions, with their procedural counter-part of finite automata (FAs), are not able to describe hierarchical, tree-shaped struc- ture, and thereby seem less suitable than CFGs for full analysis of syntactic ... See full document

... Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a special case of PCFGs. The structures they produce are labeled sequences, which are equivalent to right-branching trees. We can write an HMM as a PCFG with restricted types of rules. We ... See full document

... In practical applications, the results of Section 4 can be exploited in the computation of model tight- ness. In fact, cross-entropy indicates how much the estimated model fits the observed data, and is com- monly ... See full document

... Although, it is dicult to compare the per- formance with other systems and methods, we want to refer to several approaches that ex- amined the syllabication and grapheme-to- phoneme conversion task. Müller et al. (2000) ... See full document

... We further investigate the use of syntactic infor- mation by building complete models of each au- thor’s syntax to distinguish between authors. Our approach involves building a probabilistic context- ... See full document

... We present a method, called the relative weighted frequency method, to assign production probabilities that impose proper PCFG distributions on finite parses.. We demonstrate that these [r] ... See full document

... motivated grammars exhibit more coher- ent syntactic structure than Hiero and typically re- sult in better reordering, especially for languages with word orders that diverge from English, like Urdu (Baker et ... See full document
