Correspondence-Guided Synchronous Parsing of Parallel Corpora

Abstract

We present an efficient dynamic programming algorithm for synchronous parsing of sentence pairs from a parallel corpus with a given word alignment. Unless there is a large proportion of words without a correspondence in the other language, the worstcase complexity is significantly reduced over standard synchronous parsing. The theoretical complexity results are corroborated by a quantitative experimental evaluation. Our longer-term goal is to induce monolingual grammars from a parallel corpus, exploiting implicit information about syntactic structure obtained from correspondence patterns. 1 Here we provide an important prerequisite for parallel corpusbased grammar induction: an efficient algorithm for synchronous
