An improved system and method for revising natural language parse trees is provided. A revision dependency parser may learn a set of transformation rules that may be applied to dependency parse trees generated by a base parser for revising the dependency parse trees. A corpus of natural language sentences and a set of correct dependency parse trees may be used to train a revision dependency parser to correct dependency parse trees generated by the base parser. A revision engine may compare the dependency parse trees produced by the base parser with the correct ones present in the training data to produce an observation-rule pair for each dependency. A rule may specify a transformation on the predicted dependency parse tree generated by the base parser to replace an incorrect dependency with a corrected dependency or may change the type of dependency expressed for the grammatical function of the dependent word.

Abstract: | An improved system and method for revising natural language parse trees is provided. A revision dependency parser may learn a set of transformation rules that may be applied to dependency parse trees generated by a base parser for revising the dependency parse trees. A corpus of natural language sentences and a set of correct dependency parse trees may be used to train a revision dependency parser to correct dependency parse trees generated by the base parser. A revision engine may compare the dependency parse trees produced by the base parser with the correct ones present in the training data to produce an observation-rule pair for each dependency. A rule may specify a transformation on the predicted dependency parse tree generated by the base parser to replace an incorrect dependency with a corrected dependency or may change the type of dependency expressed for the grammatical function of the dependent word. | |
