Valence induction with a head-lexicalized PCFG. With Glenn Carroll. In proceedings of the 3rd conference on empirical methods in natural language processing (EMNLP 3), 1998, Granada. Summary: inside-outside estimation of the parameters of a hand-written lexicalized probabilistic context free grammar. A longer version of the paper, with details e.g. on smoothing.

Two-dimensional clusters in grammatical relations Paper presented at IJCAI Lexicon workshop, Stanford, 1995. Summary: EM induction of a latent class model of word pairs standing in a grammatical relation such as verb/object. A more substantial latent class model from work in progress with Glenn Carroll and Detlef Prescher.
