  1. Statistical Decision-Tree Models for Parsing (1995 · 733 citations)
    Magerman presents SPATTER, a statistical parser that learns every parsing choice from a treebank instead of relying on a hand-built grammar.
  2. Towards History-based Grammars: Using Richer Models for Probabilistic Parsing (1993 · 211 citations)
    The paper addresses structural ambiguity in parsing. Earlier probabilistic models, such as the standard P-CFG, condition each rule choice on very little context. The authors propose History-based Grammars (HBG), a generative model in which the probability of expanding each node may depend on anything already built in…
