Abstract
We extend a pair of continuous combinator-based constituency parsers (one binary and one multi-branching) into a discontinuous pair. Our parsers iteratively compose constituent vectors from word embeddings without any grammar constraints. Their empirical complexities are subquadratic. Our extension includes 1) a swap action for the orientation-based binary model and 2) biaffine attention for the chunker-based multi-branching model. In tests conducted with the Discontinuous Penn Treebank and TIGER Treebank, we achieved state-of-the-art discontinuous accuracy with a significant speed advantage.
期刊介绍:
The highly regarded quarterly journal Computational Linguistics has a companion journal called Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics. This open access journal publishes articles in all areas of natural language processing and is an important resource for academic and industry computational linguists, natural language processing experts, artificial intelligence and machine learning investigators, cognitive scientists, speech specialists, as well as linguists and philosophers. The journal disseminates work of vital relevance to these professionals on an annual basis.
