“Hard and Soft Constraints in Stochastic Unification Grammars.” Mark Johnson, Brown University. 3:30 p.m. 110 Boyd Graduate Studies Research Center. Sponsored by Artificial Intelligence Center. 542-0358.
“Hard” constraints, which classify structures as either “grammatical” or “ungrammatical,” are usually associated with models that construct rich compositional structures (e.g., unification grammars like LFG or HPSG), while “soft” constraints, which usually distinguish finer grades of acceptability, are typically associated with models that have less internal structure (e.g., connectionist models). This talk describes a model that combines the best features of both approaches in a framework called Stochastic Unification Grammar.
