[HPSG-L] Weighted constraints

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know of anybody within HPSG or some other AVM based 
framework who developed something
with weighted constraints. Something like SYNSEM|LOC|CONT|IND|PER 3 
paired with a certain probability. And this for all parts of an AVM?

I know of OT-LFG where people specified constraints as disjunctions and 
one disjunct just marked ungrammaticality and could be used for ranking.

People working on robust parsing might have done such things. Lerner 
errors? Pointers to references would be most welcome.

Thanks!

Best
