Does anyone follow the academic literature on NLP sentence parsing? As far as I can tell, they’ve been writing the same paper, with minor variations, for the last ten years. Am I wrong about this?
Well, as far as I can tell, the latest progress in the field has come mostly through throwing deep learning techniques like bidirectional LSTMs at the problem and letting the algorithms figure everything out. This obviously is not particularly conducive to advancing the theory of NLP much.
I’m not following NLP per se, but lately I’ve seen papers on grammar’s analysis based on the categorical semantics of quantum mechanics (that is, dagger-compact categories). Search the latest papers by Coecke on the arXiv.
