LHRParser (Latent Heads Representation)

This repository is no longer maintained. Development has moved to https://github.com/KotlinNLP/NeuralParser.

This is an implementation in Kotlin of the parser described in Non-Projective Dependency Parsing via Latent Heads Representation (LHR), based on the SimpleDNN neural network library.

LHRParser is a neural dependency parser that implements a novel approach based on a bidirectional recurrent autoencoder to perform globally optimized non-projective parsing via semi-supervised learning.

The image shows the architecture, composed by two BiLSTM encoders that produce the Context Vectors and the Latent Heads, a Similarity decoder that finds the relations between dependents and governors and the Labeler that assigns a dependency relation label and a part-of-speech tag to each token.
