Rich Parsing Workshop
A workshop organized in conjunction with the PhD defense of Andreas van Cranenburgh, for the dissertation entitled "Rich Statistical Parsing and Literary Language." Rich statistical parsing refers here to the use of richer grammar formalisms or techniques; in the thesis these are employed to develop a parser that takes into account discontinuous constituents and produces function tags in addition to the usual syntactic categories. The aim of the workshop is to explore such extensions of (statistical) parsing.
A demo of the parser developed in the context of the thesis is available here: https://lang.science.uva.nl/parser/
Topics:
- parsing with rich grammar formalisms,
- data-oriented parsing,
- incorporating un/semi-supervised techniques,
- deep learning, word embeddings, etc.
Location: Room F3.20, enter via Science Park 105 [NikHef], Amsterdam
Date: 1 November 2016
