Inducing Probabilistic CCG Grammars from Logical Form with Higher-Order Unification
<22> Originality: The computational advantages of Steedman's CCG grammar formalism are exploited in this work and related papers by the same authors (2011, 2012) to support a state of the art algorithm for semantic parser induction from paired sentences and logical forms such as database queries.
Significance: This is the most robust, general and non-language-specific program of its kind and results are state of the art across a wider range of languages.
Rigour: The program uses advanced wide-coverage robust statistical parsing modelling techniques, and has been rigorously evaluated against the competition using a number of standard datasets.
