Incremental Discontinuous Phrase Structure Parsing with the GAP Transition

EACL 2017  ·  Maximin Coavoux, Beno{\^\i}t Crabb{\'e} ·

This article introduces a novel transition system for discontinuous lexicalized constituent parsing called SR-GAP. It is an extension of the shift-reduce algorithm with an additional gap transition. Evaluation on two German treebanks shows that SR-GAP outperforms the previous best transition-based discontinuous parser (Maier, 2015) by a large margin (it is notably twice as accurate on the prediction of discontinuous constituents), and is competitive with the state of the art (Fern{\'a}ndez-Gonz{\'a}lez and Martins, 2015). As a side contribution, we adapt span features (Hall et al., 2014) to discontinuous parsing.
