Generalized chart constraints for efficient PCFG and TAG parsing
Chart constraints, which specify at which string positions a constituent may begin or end, have been shown to speed up chart parsers for PCFGs. We generalize chart constraints to more expressive grammar formalisms and describe a neural tagger which predicts chart constraints at very high precision. Our constraints accelerate both PCFG and TAG parsing, and combine effectively with other pruning techniques (coarse-to-fine and supertagging) for an overall speedup of two orders of magnitude, while improving accuracy.

Depth-bounding is effective: Improvements and evaluation of unsupervised PCFG induction
There have been several recent attempts to improve the accuracy of grammar induction systems by bounding the recursive complexity of the induction model (Ponvert et al., 2011; Noji and Johnson, 2016; Shain et al., 2016; …
Approximating CKY with Transformers
We investigate the ability of transformer models to approximate the CKY algorithm, using them to directly predict a sentence's parse and thus avoid the CKY algorithm's cubic dependence on sentence length. We find that on…

We generalize coarse-to-fine parsing to grammar formalisms that are more expressive than PCFGs and/or describe languages of trees or graphs. We evaluate our algorithm on PCFG, PTAG, and graph parsing. While we achieve th…
Holographic Neural PCFG for Unsupervised Parsing
Unsupervised constituency parsing aims to accurately induce latent tree structures from raw text alone. Recent neural parameterizations of PCFGs achieve strong performance in both supervised and unsupervised parsing, yet…

We describe an approach to speed-up inference with latent variable PCFGs, which have been shown to be highly effective for natural language parsing. Our approach is based on a tensor formulation recently introduced for …
