Semantic dependency parsing, which aims to find rich bi-lexical relationships, allows words to have multiple dependency heads, resulting in graph-structured representations.We propose an approach to semi-supervised learning of semantic dependency parsers based on the CRF autoencoder framework.Our encoder is a discriminative neural semantic dependency parser that predicts the latent parse graph of the input sentence.Our decoder is a generative neural model that reconstructs the input sentence conditioned on the latent parse graph.Our model is arc-factored and therefore parsing and learning are both tractable.Experiments show our model achieves significant and consistent improvement over the supervised baseline.
