Evaluating a Statistical Ccg Parser on Wikipedia

Evaluating a Statistical Ccg Parser on Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Matthew Honnibal, Joel Nothman and James R. Curran.

Overview

The vast majority of parser evaluation is conducted on the 1984 Wall Street Journal (WSJ). In-domain evaluation of this kind is important for system development, but gives little indication about how the parser will perform on many practical problems. Wikipedia is an interesting domain for parsing that has so far been under-explored. Authors present statistical parsing results that for the first time provide information about what sort of performance a user parsing Wikipedia text can expect.
