| "text": "Function tags are used in the current Penn Treebanks to augment nonterminal labels for various syntactic and semantic roles (Bies et al., 1995) . For example, in Figure 1 , -SBJ indicates the subject, -TMP indicates that the NP last year is serving as a temporal modifier, and -LOC indicates that the PP is specifying a location. Note that without these tags, it is very difficult to determine which of the two NPs directly dominated by S is in fact the subject. There are twenty function tags in the Penn Treebank, and following (Blaheta, 2003) , we collect them into the five groups shown in Figure 2 . While nonterminals can be assigned tags from different groups, they do not receive more than one tag from within a group. The Syntactic and Semantic groups are by far the most common tags, together making up over 90% of the function tag instances in the Penn Treebank. Certain non-local dependencies must also be included in a syntactic analysis if it is to be most useful for recovering the predicate-argument structure of a complex sentence. For instance, in the sentence \"The dragon I am trying to slay is green,\" it is important to know that I is the semantic subject and the dragon the semantic object of the slaying. The Penn Treebank (Bies et al., 1995) represents such dependencies by including nodes with no overt content (empty categories) in parse trees. In this work, we consider the three most frequent 2 and semantically important types of empty category annotations in most Treebank genres:", |

Because much statistical parsing research has been driven until recently by this metric, which has never been updated, the crucial role of parsing in recovering semantic structure has been generally ignored. An early exception to this was (Collins, 1997) itself, where Model 2 used function tags during the training process for heuristics to identify arguments (e.g., the TMP tag on the NP in Figure 1 disqualifies the NP-TMP from being treated as an argument). However, after this use, the tags are ignored, not included in the models, and absent from the parser output. Collins' Model 3 attempts to recover traces of Wh-movement, with limited success.", |

It also outperforms even Blaheta's specialized Semantic score (83.37), and is very close to Blaheta's specialized score for the Syntactic group (95.89). However, since the evaluation is over a different set of nonterminals, arising from the different parsers, 7 it is difficult to draw conclusions as to which system is definitively \"better\". It does seem clear, though, that by integrating the function tags into the lexicalized parser, the results are roughly comparable with the post-processing work, and it is much simpler, without the need for a separate post-processing level or for specialized feature trees for the different tag groups. 8 Our results clarify, we believe, the recent results of (Musillo and Merlo, 2005) , now state-of-the-art, which extends the parser of report a significant modification of the Henderson parser to incorporate strong notions of linguistic locality. They also manually restructure some of the function tags using tree transformations, and then train on these relabelled trees. Our results indicate that perhaps the simplest possible modification of an existing parser suffices to perform better than postinconsistent for the Semantic and Overall scores.

The accuracy of the first-stage parser on the standard Parseval metric matches that of the (Collins, 2003) parser on which it is based, despite the data fragmentation caused by the greatly enriched space of possible node labels for the Collins statistical model. This first stage simultaneously achieves near state-of-the-art performance on recovering function tags with minimal modifications to the underlying parser, modifying less than ten lines of code. We speculate that this success is due to the lexicalization of the Collins model, combined with the sophisticated backoff structure already built into the Collins model. The second stage achieves stateof-the-art performance on the recovery of empty categories by combining the linguistically-informed architecture of (Campbell, 2004 ) and a rich feature set with the power of modern machine learning methods. This work provides an example of how small enrichments in linguistic representation and changes in the structure of the problem having significant effects on the performance of a machine-learningbased system. More concretely, we showed for the first time that a PSLB post-processing system can outperform the state-of-the-art for both rule-based post-processing and integrated approaches to the empty category restoration problem.", |
