Abstract

Coordination disambiguation remains a difficult sub-problem in parsing despite the frequency and importance of coordination structures. We propose a method for disambiguating coordination structures. In this method, dual decomposition is used as a framework to take advantage of both HPSG parsing and coordinate structure analysis with alignment-based local features. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method on the Genia corpus and the Wall Street Journal portion of the Penn Treebank. Results show it increases the percentage of sentences in which coordination structures are detected correctly, compared with each of the two algorithms alone.
