New POS-signature method improves in-context dependency parsing

Researchers have developed a new method for in-context dependency parsing using a POS-signature policy. This approach represents sentences by their weighted part-of-speech statistics and retrieves three compatible, gold-parsed examples from the training data. When tested on the UD English Web Treebank with two open-weight language models, the POS-signature retrieval method achieved higher labeled attachment scores compared to fixed, semantic, chain-of-thought, and critique-refinement systems. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and efficient natural language understanding systems by improving how language models handle structured prediction tasks.

    POS-Signature Demonstration Retrieval for In-Context Dependency Parsing

    arXiv:2610.31966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Demonstrations for in-context learning are often retrieved by semantic similarity, which may be a poor proxy for relevance in structured prediction. We study demonstration selection for Universal Dependencies parsing with a POS-sign…
