Dependency-based n-gram models for general purpose sentence realisation.
In: COLING 2008 - 22nd International Conference on Computational Linguistics, 18-22 August 2008, Manchester, UK.
We present dependency-based n-gram models for general-purpose, widecoverage, probabilistic sentence realisation.
Our method linearises unordered dependencies in input representations directly rather than via the application
of grammar rules, as in traditional chartbased generators. The method is simple, efficient, and achieves competitive accuracy and complete coverage on standard English (Penn-II, 0.7440 BLEU, 0.05 sec/sent) and Chinese (CTB6, 0.7123 BLEU, 0.14 sec/sent) test data.
