Robust PCFG-based generation using automatically acquired LFG
approximations.
In: COLING/ACL 2006 - 21st International Conference on Computational Linguistics and 44th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 17-21 July 2006, Sydney, Australia.
We present a novel PCFG-based architecture for robust probabilistic generation based on wide-coverage LFG approximations (Cahill et al., 2004) automatically
extracted from treebanks, maximising the probability of a tree given an f-structure. We evaluate our approach using string-based evaluation. We currently achieve coverage of 95.26%, a BLEU score of 0.7227 and string accuracy of 0.7476 on the Penn-II WSJ Section 23 sentences of length ≤20.
