  1. 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…
  2. Using Lexical Dependency and Ontological Knowledge to Improve a Detailed Syntactic and Semantic Tagger of English (2006 · 3 citations)
    The paper tags each word with a syntactic tag and a broad semantic class at once, using a maximum-entropy tagger with a beam search from left to right.
