Abstract

Considering the difficulties inherent in the manual construction of natural language parsers, we have designed and implemented our system Grind which is capable of learning a sequence of context- -dependent parsing actions from an arbitrary corpus containing labelled parse trees. To achieve this, GRIND combines two established methods of machine learning: transformation-based learning (TBL) and inductive logic programming (ILP). Being trained and tested on corpus SUSANNE, GRIND reaches the accuracy of 96% and the recall of 68%.
