Syntactic structures and the general Markov models

2021-04-17 · Sitanshu Gakkhar, Matilde Marcolli

We study phylogenetic signal present in syntactic information by considering the syntactic structures data from Longobardi (2017b), Collins (2010), Ceolin et al. (2020) and Koopman (2011). Focusing first on the general Markov models, we explore how well the the syntactic structures data conform to the hypothesis required by these models. We do this by comparing derived phylogenetic trees against trees agreed on by the linguistics community. We then interpret the methods of Ceolin et al. (2020) as an infinite sites evolutionary model and compare the consistency of the data with this alternative. The ideas and methods discussed in the present paper are more generally applicable than to the specific setting of syntactic structures, and can be used in other contexts, when analyzing consistency of data with against hypothesized evolutionary models.

Structured Prediction of Sequences and Trees using Infinite Contexts

2015-03-09 · Ehsan Shareghi, Gholamreza Haffari, Trevor Cohn, Ann Nicholson

Linguistic structures exhibit a rich array of global phenomena, however commonly used Markov models are unable to adequately describe these phenomena due to their strong locality assumptions. We propose a novel hierarchi…

Counting trees: A treebank-driven exploration of syntactic variation in speech and writing across languages

2025-05-28 · Kaja Dobrovoljc

This paper presents a novel treebank-driven approach to comparing syntactic structures in speech and writing using dependency-parsed corpora. Adopting a fully inductive, bottom-up method, we define syntactic structures a…

Towards Robust NLG Bias Evaluation with Syntactically-diverse Prompts

2022-12-03 · Arshiya Aggarwal, Jiao Sun, Nanyun Peng

We present a robust methodology for evaluating biases in natural language generation(NLG) systems. Previous works use fixed hand-crafted prefix templates with mentions of various demographic groups to prompt models to ge…

A Deep Context Grammatical Model For Authorship Attribution

2014-05-01 · LREC 2014 5 · Simon Fuller, Phil Maguire, Philippe Moser

We define a variable-order Markov model, representing a Probabilistic Context Free Grammar, built from the sentence-level, de-lexicalized parse of source texts generated by a standard lexicalized parser, which we apply t…

Graph Transformer Networks with Syntactic and Semantic Structures for Event Argument Extraction

2020-10-26 · Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020 · Amir Pouran Ben Veyseh, Tuan Ngo Nguyen, Thien Huu Nguyen

The goal of Event Argument Extraction (EAE) is to find the role of each entity mention for a given event trigger word. It has been shown in the previous works that the syntactic structures of the sentences are helpful fo…
