Minimal structure modeling
Existing work in probabilistic language modeling can be mostly divided into two categories: (i) Purely sequential, string-level approaches ensure fluency at the local level without notion of grammaticality and seek improvements in the use of massive training corpora. (ii) Fully structural, tree-based…
