    • Increasing NLP Parsing Efficiency with Chunking 

      Anderson, Mark Dáibhidh; Vilares, David (M D P I AG, 2018-09-19)
      [Abstract] We introduce a “Chunk-and-Pass” parsing technique influenced by a psycholinguistic model, where linguistic information is processed not word-by-word but rather in larger chunks of words. We present preliminary ...
