Automatic Identification of Support Verbs: A Step Towards a Definition of Semantic Weight
Current definitions of notions of lexical density and semantic weight are based on the division of words into closed and open classes, and on intuition. This paper develops a computationally…

Developing and Evaluating a Probabilistic LR Parser of Part-of-Speech and Punctuation Labels
We describe an approach to robust domain-independent syntactic parsing of unrestricted naturally-occurring (English) input. The technique involves parsing sequences of part-of-speech and punctuation…
