Abstract:
Systems and techniques are provided for training a natural language processing model with information retrieval model annotations. A natural language processing model may be trained, through machine learning, using training examples that include part-of-speech tagging and annotations added by an information retrieval model. The natural language processing model may generate part-of-speech, parse-tree, beginning, inside, and outside label, mention chunking, and named-entity recognition predictions with confidence scores for text in the training examples. The information retrieval model annotations and part-of-speech tagging in the training example may be used to determine the accuracy of the predictions, and the natural language processing model may be adjusted. After training, the natural language processing model may be used to make predictions for novel input, such as search queries and potential search results. The search queries and potential search results may have information retrieval model annotations.
Abstract:
A source language sentence is tagged with non-lexical tags, such as part-of-speech tags and is parsed using a lexicalized parser trained in the source language. A target language sentence that is a translation of the source language sentence is tagged with non-lexical labels (e.g., part-of speech tags) and is parsed using a delexicalized parser that has been trained in the source language to produce k-best parses. The best parse is selected based on the parse's alignment with lexicalized parse of the source language sentence. The selected best parse can be used to update the parameter vector of a lexicalized parser for the target language.
