    "title": "Constraint-Based Parsing with Distributed Representations",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The idea that optimization plays a key role in linguistic cognition\nis supported by an increasingly large body of research.\nBuilding on this research, we describe a new approach to parsing\ndistributed representations via optimization over a set of\nsoft constraints on the wellformedness of parse trees. This\nwork extends previous research involving the use of constraintbased\nor “harmonic”’ grammars by suggesting how parsing\ncan be accomplished using fully distributed representations\nthat preserve their dimensionality with arbitrary increases in\nstructural complexity. We demonstrate that this method can\nbe used to correctly evaluate the wellformedness of linguistic\nstructures generated by a simple context-free grammar, and\ndiscuss a number of extensions concerning the neural implementation\nof the method and its application to complex parsing\ntasks.",
