Abstract

Our system consists of a simple, EM-based induction algorithm (Bisk and Hockenmaier, 2012), which induces a language-specific Combinatory Categorial grammar (CCG) and lexicon based on a small number of linguistic principles, e.g. that verbs may be the roots of sentences and can take nouns as arguments.
