    • A Transition-Based Algorithm for Unrestricted AMR Parsing 

      Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2018-06)
      [Absctract]: Non-projective parsing can be useful to handle cycles and reentrancy in AMR graphs. We explore this idea and introduce a greedy left-to-right non-projective transition-based parser. At each parsing configuration, ...
    • A Unifying Theory of Transition-based and Sequence Labeling Parsing 

      Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos; Strzyz, Michalina; Vilares, David (International Committee on Computational Linguistics, 2020-12)
      [Absctract]: We define a mapping from transition-based parsing algorithms that read sentences from left to right to sequence labeling encodings of syntactic trees. This not only establishes a theoretical relation between ...
    • Another Dead End for Morphological Tags? Perturbed Inputs and Parsing 

      Muñoz-Ortiz, Alberto; Vilares, David (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2023-07)
      [Absctract]: The usefulness of part-of-speech tags for parsing has been heavily questioned due to the success of word-contextualized parsers. Yet, most studies are limited to coarse-grained tags and high quality written ...
    • Una aproximación supervisada para la minería de opiniones sobre tuits en español en base a conocimiento lingüístico 

      Vilares, David; Alonso, Miguel A.; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural, 2013)
      [Resumen]: En este artículo se describe un sistema para la clasificación de la polaridad de tuits escritos en español. Se adopta una aproximación híbrida, que combina conocimiento lingüístico obtenido mediante PLN con ...
    • Artificially Evolved Chunks for Morphosyntactic Analysis 

      Anderson, Mark; Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019-08)
      [Absctract]: We introduce a language-agnostic evolutionary technique for automatically extracting chunks from dependency treebanks. We evaluate these chunks on a number of morphosyntactic tasks, namely POS tagging, ...
    • Assessment of Pre-Trained Models Across Languages and Grammars 

      Muñoz-Ortiz, Alberto; Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2023-11)
      [Absctract]: We present an approach for assessing how multilingual large language models (LLMs) learn syntax in terms of multi-formalism syntactic structures. We aim to recover constituent and dependency structures by ...
    • Better, Faster, Stronger Sequence Tagging Constituent Parsers 

      Vilares, David; Abdou, Mostafa; Søgaard, Anders (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019-06)
      [Absctract]: Sequence tagging models for constituent parsing are faster, but less accurate than other types of parsers. In this work, we address the following weaknesses of such constituent parsers: (a) high error rates ...
    • Bracketing Encodings for 2-Planar Dependency Parsing 

      Strzyz, Michalina; Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (International Committee on Computational Linguistics, 2020-12)
      [Absctract]: We present a bracketing-based encoding that can be used to represent any 2-planar dependency tree over a sentence of length n as a sequence of n labels, hence providing almost total coverage of crossing arcs ...
