Learning Syntax from Naturally-Occurring Bracketings
Naturally-occurring bracketings, such as answer fragments to natural language questions and hyperlinks on webpages, can reflect human syntactic intuition regarding phrasal boundaries. Their availability and approximate correspondence to syntax make them appealing as distant information sources to incorporate into unsupervised constituency parsing. But they are noisy and incomplete; to address this challenge, we develop a partial-brackets-aware structured ramp loss in learning. Experiments demonstrate that our distantly-supervised models trained on naturally-occurring bracketing data are more accurate in inducing syntactic structures than competing unsupervised systems. On the English WSJ corpus, our models achieve an unlabeled F1 score of 68.9 for constituency parsing.

Automatic Extraction of Clausal Embedding Based on Large-Scale English Text Data
For linguists, embedded clauses have been of special interest because of their intricate distribution of syntactic and semantic features. Yet, current research relies on schematically created language examples to investi…

MGen is a dataset of over 4 million naturally occurring generic and quantified sentences extracted from diverse textual sources. Sentences in the dataset have long context documents, corresponding to websites and academi…
Low Resourced Machine Translation via Morpho-syntactic Modeling: The Case of Dialectal Arabic
We present the second ever evaluated Arabic dialect-to-dialect machine translation effort, and the first to leverage external resources beyond a small parallel corpus. The subject has not previously received serious atte…
Machine TranslationTranslationParsed Corpus as a Source for Testing Generalizations in Japanese Syntax
In this paper, we discuss constituent ordering generalizations in Japanese. Japanese has SOV as its basic order, but a significant range of argument order variations brought about by ‘scrambling’ is permitted. Although s…
