192 acl-2011-Language-Independent Parsing with Empty Elements


Source: pdf

Author: Shu Cai ; David Chiang ; Yoav Goldberg

Abstract: We present a simple, language-independent method for integrating recovery of empty elements into syntactic parsing. This method outperforms the best published method we are aware of on English and a recently published method on Chinese.
