We will predominately evaluate using BLEU, but also use automatic structured metrics and perform small scale human evaluation:
\vspace{0.25in}
\begin{unpacked_itemize}
\item Evaluate phrasal, syntactic, unsupervised syntactic,
\item Aim 1: Do no harm (not true of existing syntactic approach)

\item Aim 3: Meet or exceed performance of existing syntactic systems.
\end{unpacked_itemize}

%\begin{frame}[t]{Impact}
%Success will have a significant impact on two areas of CL:

%\begin{unpacked_itemize}
%\item Machine translation
%\begin{unpacked_itemize}
%  \item Make the benefits of richly structured translation models available to a much wider range of researchers and for a wider range of languages.

%\end{unpacked_itemize}
%\item Grammar induction:
%\begin{unpacked_itemize}
%  \item Provide an empirical validation of state-of-the-art grammar induction techniques.
%\end{unpacked_itemize}
%\end{unpacked_itemize}

\begin{quote}
\emph{Words that occur in the same contexts tend to have similar meanings}
\end{quote}
\hfill (Zellig Harris, 1954)
\end{exampleblock}

\vspace{3ex}

We will leverage this in a translation setting:
\begin{itemize}
    \item Use the contexts to \alert{cluster} translation units into groups
    \item Units in the same group expected to be semantically and syntactically similar
    \item Then use these cluster labels to guide translation
    \begin{itemize}
        \item lexical selection: translating ambiguous source word/s
        \item reordering: consistent syntactic patterns of reordering
    \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[t]{Monolingual Example}
Task: cluster words into their parts-of-speech. \\

\vspace{1ex}
Illustrate by starting with the word `deal' (noun or verb):

\only<1>{\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{deal_first.pdf} \\ Step 1: Find contexts for `deal'}

\vspace{1ex}
Notice that the instances of deal can be split into two connected sub-graphs:
\begin{itemize}
    \item noun: the left two contexts ``a \ldots with'' and ``a \ldots that''
    \item verb: the right two contexts ``to \ldots with'' and ``not \ldots with''
    \item neighbouring words of these contexts share the same PoS

\begin{frame}[t]{Clustering}

Task is to cluster the graph into sub-graphs. Nodes in the sub-graphs should be
\begin{itemize}
\item strongly connected to one another
\item weakly connected to nodes outside the sub-graph
\item could formulate as either \emph{hard} or \emph{soft} clustering

    \item topics are \alert{tied} across a document using a Dirichlet prior
