Training dependency parsers by jointly optimizing multiple objectives

摘要

A plurality of highest intrinsically-ranked parser outputs are scored using an extrinsic metric that is relevant to one or more downstream applications. The parser can be trained by using an extrinsically highly-ranked parse selected from among the intrinsically highly-ranked parses. The selected parse need not be the highest intrinsically-ranked parse. In this way, a parser can be trained to produce better results for downstream applications.
