Robust PCFG-based generation using automatically acquired LFG approximations

Cahill, Aoife orcid logoORCID: 0000-0002-3519-7726 and van Genabith, Josef (2006) Robust PCFG-based generation using automatically acquired LFG approximations.

Abstract
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.
