====== Recursive Non-Autoregressive Graph-to-Graph Transformer for Dependency Parsing with Iterative Refinement ====== * **ID:** 20231012155320260-1322 * **Researcher:** Alireza Mohammadshahi, James Henderson * **WP:** Other * **PI:** James Henderson * **Abstract:** We propose the Recursive Non-autoregressive Graph-to-Graph Transformer architecture (RNGTr) for the iterative refinement of arbitrary graphs through the recursive application of a non-autoregressive Graph-to-Graph Transformer and apply it to syntactic dependency parsing. We demonstrate the power and effectiveness of RNGTr on several dependency corpora, using a refinement model pre-trained with BERT. We also introduce Syntactic Transformer (SynTr), a non-recursive parser similar to our refinement model. RNGTr can improve the accuracy of a variety of initial parsers on 13 languages from the Universal Dependencies Treebanks, English and Chinese Penn Treebanks, and the German CoNLL2009 corpus, even improving over the new state-of-the-art results achieved by SynTr, significantly improving the state-of-the-art for all corpora tested. * **Publication DOI:** [[https://doi.org/10.1162/tacl_a_00358|https://doi.org/10.1162/tacl_a_00358]] * **Publication Link:** [[https://doi.org/10.1162/tacl_a_00358|https://doi.org/10.1162/tacl_a_00358]] * **Data Type:** null * **Data Format:** null * **Data Link:** [[https://github.com/idiap/g2g-transformer|https://github.com/idiap/g2g-transformer]] * **Git:** [[None|None]]
