Polynomial Tree Substitution Grammars: Characterization and New Examples

Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Martin Rajman, Antoine Rozenknop


Abstract
Polynomial Tree Substitution Grammars, a subclass of STSGs for which finding the most probable parse is no longer NP-hard but polynomial, are defined and characterized in terms of general properties on the elementary trees in the grammar. Various sufficient and easy to compute properties for a STSG to be polynomial are presented. The min-max selection principle is shown to be one such sufficient property. In addition, another, new, instance of a sufficient property, based on lexical heads, is presented. The performances of both models are evaluated on several corpora.
