- Abstract:
-
Previous research applying kernel methods to natural language parsing have focussed on proposing kernels over parse trees, which are hand-crafted based on domain knowledge and computational considerations. In this paper we propose a method for defining the kernel in terms of a probabilistic model of parsing. This model is then trained, so that the parameters of the probabilistic model reflect the generalizations in the training data. The method we propose then uses these trained parameters to define a kernel for reranking parse trees. In experiments, we use a neural network based statistical parser as the probabilistic model, and use the resulting kernel with the Voted Perceptron algorithm to rerank the top 20 parses from the probabilistic model. This method achieves a significant improvement over the accuracy of the probabilistic model alone.
