Abstract:

A major part of natural language processing now depends on the use of text 
data to build linguistic analyzers. We consider statistical, computational 
approaches to modeling linguistic structure. We seek to unify across many 
approaches and many kinds of linguistic structures. Assuming a basic 
understanding of natural language processing and/or machine learning, we seek 
to bridge the gap between the two fields. Approaches to decoding (i.e., carrying 
out linguistic structure prediction) and supervised and unsupervised learning of 
models that predict discrete structures as outputs are the focus. We also 
survey natural language processing problems to which these methods are being 
applied, and we address related topics in probabilistic inference, optimization, 
and experimental methodology.
