Efficient loop-check for multimodal KD45n logic

We introduce sequent calculus for multi-modal logic KD45n which uses efficient loop-check. Efficiency of the used loop-check is obtained by using marked modal operator squarei which is used as an alternative to sequent with histories ([2,3]).We use inference rules with or branches to make all rules invertible or semi-invertible. We showthe maximum height of the constructed derivation tree. Also polynomial space complexity is proved.

Left-corner parsing of minimalist grammars

Much recent research in experimental psycholinguistics revolves around the resolution of long-distance dependencies, and the manner in which the human sentence processor “retrieves’” elements from earlier in a sentence that must be related in some way to the material currently being processed. At present there is no obvious way for the issues raised by this research to be framed in terms of an MG parser. Stabler’s 2013 top-down MG parser does not involve any corresponding notion of “retrieval’”: it requires that a phrase’s position in the derivation tree be completely identified before the phrase can be scanned, which means that a filler cannot be scanned without committing to a particular location for its corresponding gap. This chapter attempts to develop a parsing algorithm that is inspired by Stabler, but which allows a sentence-initial filler to be scanned immediately while delaying the choice of corresponding gap position.

Functional Pearl: the Proof Search Monad

We present the proof search monad, a set of combinators that allows one to write a proof search engine in a style that resembles the formal rules closely. The user calls functions such as premise, prove or choice; the library then takes care of generating a derivation tree. Proof search engines written in this style enjoy: first, a one-to-one correspondence between the implementation and the derivation rules, which makes manual inspection easier; second, proof witnesses “for free”, which makes a verified, independent validation approach easier too.

In-Order Transition-based Constituent Parsing

Both bottom-up and top-down strategies have been used for neural transition-based constituent parsing. The parsing strategies differ in terms of the order in which they recognize productions in the derivation tree, where bottom-up strategies and top-down strategies take post-order and pre-order traversal over trees, respectively. Bottom-up parsers benefit from rich features from readily built partial parses, but lack lookahead guidance in the parsing process; top-down parsers benefit from non-local guidance for local decisions, but rely on a strong encoder over the input to predict a constituent hierarchy before its construction. To mitigate both issues, we propose a novel parsing system based on in-order traversal over syntactic trees, designing a set of transition actions to find a compromise between bottom-up constituent information and top-down lookahead information. Based on stack-LSTM, our psycholinguistically motivated constituent parsing system achieves 91.8 F1 on the WSJ benchmark. Furthermore, the system achieves 93.6 F1 with supervised reranking and 94.2 F1 with semi-supervised reranking, which are the best results on the WSJ benchmark.

Mathematical Modeling on Network Fractional Routing Through Derivation Tree

A Derivation Tree is one of the most important optimization techniques to help decision making in Network. A Derivation Tree problem calls for optimizing linear functions of variables called objective function. The objective function minimizes the total overflow from source node to sink node. We will prove fractional Routing Capacity for some solvable network using Derivation Tree.Keywords - capacity, flow, fractional routing, Derivation Tree.

Eliding the derivation: A minimalist formalization of ellipsis

In this paper I use the formal framework of minimalist grammars to implement a version of the traditional approach to ellipsis as ‘deletion under syntactic (derivational) identity’, which, in conjunction with canonical analyses of voice phenomena, immediately allows for voice mismatches in verb phrase ellipsis, but not in sluicing. This approach to ellipsis is naturally implemented in a parser by means of threading a state encoding a set of possible antecedent derivation contexts through the derivation tree. Similarities between ellipsis and pronominal resolution are easily stated in these terms. In the context of this implementation, two approaches to ellipsis in the transformational community are naturally seen as equivalent descriptions at different levels: the LF-copying approach to ellipsis resolution is best seen as a description of the parser, whereas the phonological deletion approach a description of the underlying relation between form and meaning.
