Abstract:

This thesis presents a novel approach to the processing and
representation of natural language syntax and semantics, combining
symbolic and neural techniques.

The symbolic core is powered by a linear type system that uses
modalities to capture dependency structures on top of
function-argument relations, enabling a more flexible and expressive
way of representing grammatical utterances.
The practical applications of this approach are showcased through the
computational study of Dutch, utilizing a set of tools and resources
developed specifically for this purpose. These include a large
proofbank, i.e., a collection of sentences associated with
tectogrammatic theorems and their corresponding programs, supported by
an extensive type lexicon, which provides type assignments to almost
one million lexical tokens within a given linguistic context. Parsing
is handled by a combination of static type-checking, a
state-of-the-art supertagger based on heterogeneous graph
convolutions, and a massively parallel proof search component
formulated as a neural bijection learner.

Overall, this thesis demonstrates the power of an integrated
neurosymbolic approach to natural language processing combining the
best of both worlds - the symbolic representation of meaning and the
statistical power of modern neural networks.
