Predictive Incremental Parsing and its Evaluation
Beuck Niels, K ouml hn Arne, Menzel Wolfgang · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2013
For incomplete sentences, different structural descriptions with different levels of prediction are possible. Two existing dependency parsers have been modified to generate sequences of output hypotheses in an incremental manner. The parsing results can be characterized with respect to different criteria like the amount of predicted information, its quality, monotonicity, delay, inclusiveness and connectedness. We propose an evaluation scheme able to capture these properties and apply it to the parsers in different configurations.
