We propose a method for unsupervised parsing based on the linguistic notion of a
constituency test. One type of constituency test involves modifying the sentence via some
transformation (eg replacing the span with a pronoun) and then judging the result (eg
checking if it is grammatical). Motivated by this idea, we design an unsupervised parser by
specifying a set of transformations and using an unsupervised neural acceptability model to
make grammaticality decisions. To produce a tree given a sentence, we score each span by …
We propose a method for unsupervised parsing based on the linguistic notion of a constituency test. One type of constituency test involves modifying the sentence via some transformation (e.g. replacing the span with a pronoun) and then judging the result (e.g. checking if it is grammatical). Motivated by this idea, we design an unsupervised parser by specifying a set of transformations and using an unsupervised neural acceptability model to make grammaticality decisions. To produce a tree given a sentence, we score each span by aggregating its constituency test judgments, and we choose the binary tree with the highest total score. While this approach already achieves performance in the range of current methods, we further improve accuracy by fine-tuning the grammaticality model through a refinement procedure, where we alternate between improving the estimated trees and improving the grammaticality model. The refined model achieves 62.8 F1 on the Penn Treebank test set, an absolute improvement of 7.6 points over the previous best published result.
