| Challenge: | Empirical natural language processing (NLP) systems involve interoperation among multiple components . a wealth of NLP toolkits exist ( 4), such as spaCy, DKPro, CoreNLP. |
| Approach: | They propose a unified open-source framework that supports fast development of NLP workflows . framework includes processors for NLP tasks, visualization, and annotation . |
| Outcome: | The framework offers processors for NLP tasks, visualization, and annotation, and is extensible . it is delivered through two modularized yet integratable open-source projects, Forte and Stave . |
Stack-Pointer Networks for Dependency Parsing (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to dependency parsing are local and greedy transitionbased . StackPtr parsers use the information of whole sentences and previously derived subtree structures . |
| Approach: | They propose a stack-pointer network-based dependency parser that reads whole sentence and builds dependency tree top-down in a depth-first fashion. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model reads and encodes whole sentence, then builds dependency tree top-down (from root-to-leaf) in a depth-first fashion. |
