Abstract

We analyze estimation methods for Data-Oriented Parsing, as well as the theoretical criteria used to evaluate them. We show that all current estimation methods are inconsistent in the "weight-distribution test", and argue that these results force us to rethink both the methods proposed and the criteria used.
