Categories have the format i-j:CAT where i and j are the indices of the spaces between words in the TARGET language. For example, slash categories can be written: the blue house 0-1:DT 1-2:JJ 2-3:NN 1-3:NBAR 0-2:NP/NN 0-3:NP You may multiply label each span, e.g. NP | NBAR | NN | John 0-1:NP 0-1:NBAR 0-1:NP However, this may result in a very large number of rules being extracted. **** * Filtering and Scoring of Unscored and Unfiltered Grammars **** Take the unfiltered grammar, and a test set, and run: ./filter_grammar < unfiltered.grammar > filter.grammar Then, to score the new filtered grammar, run: ./score_grammar < filtered.grammar > scored.grammar
