From Partial to Strictly Incremental Constituent Parsing
Ana Ezquerro Carlos Gómez-Rodríguez David Vilares
We study incremental constituent parsers to assess their capacity to output
trees based on prefix representations alone. Guided by strictly left-to-right
generative language models and tree-decoding modules, we build parsers that
adhere to a strong definition of incrementality across languages. This builds
upon work that asserted incrementality, but that mostly only enforced it on
either the encoder or the decoder. Finally, we conduct an analysis against
non-incremental and partially incremental models.
