Bootstrapping Structure into Language: Alignment-Based Learning
Menno M. van Zaanen
This thesis introduces a new unsupervised learning framework, called Alignment-Based Learning, which is based on the alignment of sentences and Harris's (1951) notion of substituta…
Bootstrapping Syntax and Recursion using Alignment-Based Learning
Menno van Zaanen
This paper introduces a new type of unsupervised learning algorithm, based on the alignment of sentences and Harris's (1951) notion of interchangeability. The algorithm is applied…
ABL: Alignment-Based Learning
Menno van Zaanen
This paper introduces a new type of grammar learning algorithm, inspired by string edit distance (Wagner and Fischer, 1974). The algorithm takes a corpus of flat sentences as input…
Bootstrapping Structure using Similarity
Menno van Zaanen
In this paper a new similarity-based learning algorithm, inspired by string edit-distance (Wagner and Fischer, 1974), is applied to the problem of bootstrapping structure from scra…
