267 acl-2011-Reversible Stochastic Attribute-Value Grammars


Source: pdf

Author: Daniel de Kok ; Barbara Plank ; Gertjan van Noord

Abstract: An attractive property of attribute-value grammars is their reversibility. Attribute-value grammars are usually coupled with separate statistical components for parse selection and fluency ranking. We propose reversible stochastic attribute-value grammars, in which a single statistical model is employed both for parse selection and fluency ranking.
