The expected sum of edge lengths in planar linearizations of trees. Theory and applications
Lluís Alemany-Puig, Ramon Ferrer-i-Cancho
Dependency trees have proven to be a very successful model to represent the syntactic structure of sentences of human languages. In these structures, vertices are words and edges c…
The Linear Arrangement Library. A new tool for research on syntactic dependency structures
Lluís Alemany-Puig, Juan Luis Esteban, Ramon Ferrer-i-Cancho
The new and growing field of Quantitative Dependency Syntax has emerged at the crossroads between Dependency Syntax and Quantitative Linguistics. One of the main concerns in this f…
Linear-time calculation of the expected sum of edge lengths in random projective linearizations of trees
Lluís Alemany-Puig, Ramon Ferrer-i-Cancho
The syntactic structure of a sentence is often represented using syntactic dependency trees. The sum of the distances between syntactically related words has been in the limelight…
The optimality of syntactic dependency distances
Ramon Ferrer-i-Cancho, Carlos Gómez-Rodríguez, Juan Luis Esteban +1
It is often stated that human languages, as other biological systems, are shaped by cost-cutting pressures but, to what extent? Attempts to quantify the degree of optimality of lan…
