• Abstract summary: We propose an unsupervised grammar induction model that leverages word concreteness and a structural vision-based to jointly learn constituency-structure and dependency-structure grammars. Our experiments show that the proposed extension outperforms the current state-of-the-art visually grounded models in constituency parsing even with a smaller grammar size.

• Abstract: Most previous work on grammar induction focuses on learning phrasal or dependency structure purely from text. However, because the signal provided by text alone is limited, recently introduced visually grounded syntax models make use of multimodal information leading to improved performance in constituency grammar induction. However, as compared to dependency grammars, constituency grammars do not provide a straightforward way to incorporate visual information without enforcing language-specific heuristics. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised grammar induction model that leverages word concreteness and a structural vision-based heuristic to jointly learn constituency-structure and dependency-structure grammars. Our experiments find that concreteness is a strong indicator for learning dependency grammars, improving the direct attachment score (DAS) by over 50\% as compared to state-of-the-art models trained on pure text. Next, we propose an extension of our model that leverages both word concreteness and visual semantic role labels in constituency and dependency parsing. Our experiments show that the proposed extension outperforms the current state-of-the-art visually grounded models in constituency parsing even with a smaller grammar size.

  This work introduces a novel visual-audio-text grammar induction task (textbfVAT-GI) Inspired by the fact that language grammar exists beyond the texts, we argue that the text has not to be the predominant modality in grammar induction. We propose a visual-audio-text inside-outside autoencoder (textbfVaTiora) framework, which leverages rich modal-specific and complementary features for effective grammar parsing.

  We introduce a novel model, StructFormer, that can induce dependency and constituency structure at the same time.

Experimental results show that our model can achieve strong results on unsupervised constituency parsing, unsupervised dependency parsing, and masked language modeling.
