"text": "Besides being cognitively plausible (Marslen-Wilson, 1973) , incremental parsing is more useful than non-incremental parsing for some applications. For example, an incremental analysis is required for integrating syntactic and semantic information into language modeling for statistical machine translation (SMT) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) (Roark, 2001 ; Wang and Harper, 2003) . This paper develops a new incremental shiftreduce algorithm for parsing CCG by building a dependency graph in addition to the CCG derivation as a representation. The dependencies in the graph are extracted from the CCG derivation. A node can have multiple parents, and hence we construct a dependency graph rather than a tree. Two new actions are introduced in the shift-reduce paradigm for \"revealing\" (Pareschi and Steedman, 1987) unbuilt structure during parsing. We build the dependency graph in parallel to the incremental CCG derivation and use this graph for revealing, via these two new actions. On the standard CCGbank test data, our algorithm achieves improvements of 0.88% in labeled F-score and 2.0% in unlabeled F-score over a greedy non-incremental shift-reduce algorithm. As our algorithm does not model derivations, but rather models transitions, we do not need a treebank John likes mangoes from India madly of incremental CCG derivations and can train on the dependencies in the existing treebank. Our approach can therefore be adapted to other languages with dependency treebanks, since CCG lexical categories can be easily extracted from dependency treebanks (Cakici, 2005; Ambati et al., 2013) . The rest of the paper is arranged as follows. Section 2 gives a brief introduction to related work in the areas of CCG parsing and incremental parsing. In section 3, we describe our incremental shift-reduce parsing algorithm. Details about the experiments, evaluation metrices and analysis of the results are in section 4. We conclude with possible future directions in section 5.",

Both these shift-reduce parsers are more incremental than standard chart based parsers.

"text": "A strictly incremental parser is one which computes the relationship between words as soon as they are encountered in the input. Shift-reduce CCG parsers rely either on CCGbank derivations (Zhang and Clark, 2011) which are non-incremental, or on dependencies (Xu et al., 2014) which could be incremental in simple cases, but do not guarantee incrementality. Hassan et al. (2009) developed a semi-incremental CCG parser by transforming the English CCGbank into left branching derivation trees. The strictly incremental version performed with very low accuracy but a semi-incremental version gave a balance between incrementality and accuracy. There is also some work on incremental parsing using grammar formalisms other than CCG like phrase structure grammar (Collins and Roark, 2004) and tree substitution grammar (Sangati and Keller, 2013) .",

Goldberg and Nivre (2012) improved learning for greedy parsers by using dynamic oracles rather than a single static transition sequence as the oracle. In all the standard shift-reduce parsers, when two trees combine, only the top node (root) of each tree participates in the action. Sartorio et al. (2013) introduced a technique where in addition to the root node, nodes on the right and left periphery respectively are also available for attachment in the parsing process.

"text": "The present incremental parser uses a related revealing technique confined to the right periphery. Using CCG combinators and rules like type-raising followed by forward composition, we combine nodes in the stack if there is a dependency between them. However, this can create problems for the newly shifted node as its dependent might already have been reduced. For instance, if the object 'mangoes' is reduced after it is shifted to the stack, then it won't be available for the preposition phrase (PP) 'from India' (of course, this goes for more complex NPs as well). We have to extract 'mangoes', which is hidden in the derivation, so as to make the correct attachment to the PP. This is where revealing comes into play. Mangoes is 'revealed' so that it is available to attach to the PP following it, although it has already been reduced. To handle this, in addition to the four actions of the NonInc algorithm, we introduce two new actions: Left Reveal (LRev) and Right Reveal (RRev). For this, after every action, in addition to updating the stack we also keep track of the dependencies resolved and update the dependency graph accordingly 1 . In other words, we build the dependency graph for the sentence in parallel to the CCG derivation. As these dependencies are extracted from the CCG derivation, a node can have multiple parents and hence we construct a dependency graph rather than a tree.",

In RRev we first check the right periphery and identify a possible node to be attached, 'mangoes', which is the object argument of the verb 'likes'. We abstract over this object and split the category in the following manner: If X is the category of the left node and Y\\Y is the category of the right node, then X is split into X/Y and Y with corresponding heads. The head of the left node will be the head of X/Y, and the dependency graph helps in identifying the correct head for Y. Now, Y and Y\\Y can be combined using the backward application rule to form Y, which can be combined with X/Y to form X back. In our example sentence, S:likes is split into S/NP:likes and NP:mangoes. NP:mangoes is combined with NP\\NP:from to form NP:mangoes, which in return combines with S/NP:likes and forms back S:likes. Figure 4 (a) sketches this process. This action also updates the dependency graph with a dependency between 'mangoes' and 'from'. The next word 'madly' is shifted in step 10, after which the stack has two nodes S:likes and (S\\NP)\\(S\\NP):madly. We apply the LRev action to combine these two nodes.

We explored the adjunct case of attaching only the preposition first rather than creating a complete prepositional phrase and then attaching it to correct parent. In our example sentence, this would be the case of attaching the preposition 'from' to its parent using RRev and then combining the NP 'India' accordingly as opposed to creating the preposition phrase 'from India' first and then using RRev action to attach it to the correct parent. Though the former is more incremental, it is inconsistent with the SCH.

"text": "Before evaluating the performance of our algorithm, we introduce two measures of incrementality: connectedness and waiting time. In a shift-reduce parser, a derivation is fully connected when all the nodes in the stack are connected leading to only one node in the stack at any point of time. We measure the average number of nodes in the stack before shifting a new token from input buffer to the stack, which we call as connectedness. For a fully connected incremental parser like Hassan et al. (2009) , connectedness would be one. As our RevInc algorithm is not fully connected, this number will be greater than one. For example, in a noun phrase 'the big book', when 'the' and 'big' are in the stack, as there is no dependency between these two words, our algorithm doesn't combine these two nodes resulting in having two nodes in the stack 3 . Second column in Table 1 gives this number for both NonInc and RevInc algorithms. Though our algorithm is not fully connected, connectedness of our algorithm is significantly lower than the NonInc algorithm as our algorithm is more incremental. We define waiting time as the number of nodes that need to be shifted to the stack before a dependency between any two nodes in the stack is resolved. In our example sentence, there is a dependency between 'John' and 'likes'. For NonInc, this dependency is resolved only after all the four remaining words in the sentence are shifted. In other words, it has to wait for four more words before this dependency is resolved and hence the waiting time is four. Whereas, in our RevInc algorithm, this dependency is resolved immediately, without waiting for more words to be shifted, and hence the waiting time is zero. The third column in Table 1 gives the waiting time for both the algorithms. Since we compromised incrementality in cases like coordination, waiting time for our RevInc algorithm is not zero but it is significantly lower than the NonInc algorithm and hence more incremental. This property is likely to be crucial for future applications in ASR and SMT language modeling.",

Last column in the table gives the category accuracy. We used the modified CCGbank for all experiments, including NonInc, for consistent comparisons. For NonInc, the modification decreased unlabeled F-score by 0.45%, without a major difference in labeled F-score. Our incremental algorithm gives 1.39% and 0.47% improvements over the NonInc algorithm in unlabeled and labeled F-scores respectively. For both unlabeled and labeled scores, precision of RevInc is slightly lower than NonInc but the recall of RevInc is much higher than NonInc resulting in a better F-score for RevInc. As NonInc is not incremental and as it uses more context to the right while making a decision, it makes more precise actions. But, on the other hand, if a node is reduced, it is not available for future actions. This is not a problem for our RevInc algorithm which is the reason for higher recall. For example, in the example sentence, 'John likes mangoes from India madly', if the object 'mangoes' is reduced after it got shifted to the stack, then in case of NonInc, the preposition phrase 'from India' can never be attached to 'mangoes'. But, RevInc makes the correct attachment using RRev action.

Significant amount of parsing time is spent on the feature extraction step. Features from top four nodes in the stack and their children are extracted for both the algorithms. Since the average connectedness of RevInc and NonInc are 4.62 and 2.15 respectively, on average, all four nodes in the stack are processed for NonInc and only two nodes are processed for RevInc.
