In parsing we have to deal with incomplete and  not necessarily accurate formal descriptions of natural languages.  Robustness and efficiency are among the main issuesin parsing.   Corpora can be used to obtain frequency information about language  use. This allows probabilistic parsing, an approach that aims at both  robustness and efficiency increase. Approximation techniques, to be  applied at the level of language description, parsing strategy, and  syntactic representation, have the same objective. Approximation at  the level of syntactic representation is also known as  underspecification, a traditional technique to deal with syntactic  ambiguity. \u003cbr\u003e  In this book new parsing technologies are collected that aim at  attacking the problems of robustness and efficiency by exactly these  techniques: the design of probabilistic grammars and efficient  probabilistic parsing algorithms, approximation techniques applied to  grammars and parsers to increase parsing efficiency, and techniques  for underspecification and the integration of semantic information in  the syntactic analysis to deal with massive ambiguity. \u003cbr\u003e  The book gives a state-of-the-art overview of current research and  development in parsing technologies. In its chapters we see how  probabilistic methods have entered the toolbox of computational  linguistics in order to be applied in both parsing theory and parsing  practice. The book is both a unique reference for researchers and an  introduction to the field for interested graduate students.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 December 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789048155798\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e267\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803374620812,"sku":"9789048155798","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048155798.jpg?v=1781751279","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048155798","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
