Title
An improved redundancy elimination algorithm for underspecified representations
Abstract
We present an efficient algorithm for the redundancy elimination problem: Given an underspecified semantic representation (USR) of a scope ambiguity, compute an USR with fewer mutually equivalent readings. The algorithm operates on underspecified chart representations which are derived from dominance graphs; it can be applied to the USRs computed by large-scale grammars. We evaluate the algorithm on a corpus, and show that it reduces the degree of ambiguity significantly while taking negligible runtime.
