Combinatory Categorical Grammar (CCG; Steedman, 2000) is a highly lexicalized formalism. The standard parsing model of Clark and Curran (2007) uses over 400 lexical categories (or supertags), compared to about 50 part-of-speech tags for typical parsers.
Example:
| Vinken | , | 61 | years | old |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | , | N/N | N | (S[adj]\ NP)\ NP |
The CCGBank is a corpus of CCG derivations and dependency structures extracted from the Penn Treebank by Hockenmaier and Steedman (2007). Sections 2-21 are used for training, section 00 for development, and section 23 as in-domain test set. Performance is only calculated on the 425 most frequent labels. Models are evaluated based on accuracy.
