Extending a Parser to Distant Domains Using a Few Dozen Partially Annotated Examples
Table 6: RSP performance on GeoDev.
['Training Data', 'GeoDev correct constituents %', 'GeoDev error-free %', 'WsjTest  [ITALIC] F1']
After preparing the data, we started with RSP trained on WsjTrain, and fine-tuned it on minibatches containing 50 randomly selected WsjTrain sentences, plus all of GeoTrain. Moreover, the fraction of sentences with no errors increases from 45.2% to 72.6%. With only a few dozen partially-annotated training examples, not only do we see a large increase in domain performance, but there is also no degradation in the parser’s performance on newswire.
