  2. Ambiguities in Parsing I feed cats nearby in the garden ... • let’s focus on dependency structures for simplicity • ambiguous attachments of nearby and in • ambiguity explodes exponentially with sentence length • must design efficient (polynomial) search algorithm • typically using dynamic programming (DP); e.g. CKY DP for Incremental Parsing (Huang and Sagae) 2

  6. But full DP is too slow... I feed cats nearby in the garden ... • full DP (like CKY) is too slow (cubic-time) • while human parsing is fast & incremental (linear-time) DP for Incremental Parsing (Huang and Sagae) 3

  7. But full DP is too slow... I feed cats nearby in the garden ... • full DP (like CKY) is too slow (cubic-time) • while human parsing is fast & incremental (linear-time) • how about incremental parsing then? • yes, but only with greedy search (accuracy suffers) • explores tiny fraction of trees (even w/ beam search) DP for Incremental Parsing (Huang and Sagae) 3

Linear-Time Incremental DP incremental parsing greedy (e.g. shift-reduce) search ☹ (Nivre 04; Collins/Roark 04; ...) this work: full DP principled fast shift-reduce parsing (e.g. CKY) search with dynamic programming ☺ (Eisner 96; Collins 99; ...) ☹ ☺ fast slow (linear-time) (cubic-time) DP for Incremental Parsing (Huang and Sagae) 4

Choosing Parser Actions ← stack queue → ← stack queue → in the garden ... ... feed cats ... s 2 s 1 s 0 q 0 q 1 ... nearby I features: (s 0 . w , s 0 . rc , q 0 , ...) = (cats, nearby, in, ...) • score each action using features f and weights w • features are drawn from a local window • abstraction (or signature) of a state -- this inspires DP! • weights trained by structured perceptron (Collins 02) DP for Incremental Parsing (Huang and Sagae) 15
