Tree-Transformer: A Transformer-Based Method for Correction of Tree-Structured Data

Harer, Jacob, Reale, Chris, Chin, Peter

Understand

Many common sequential data sources, such as source code and natural language, have a natural tree-structured representation.

  • These trees can be generated by fitting a sequence to a grammar, yielding a hierarchical ordering of the tokens in the sequence.
  • This structure encodes a high degree of syntactic information, making it ideal for problems such as grammar correction.
  • However, little work has been done to develop neural networks that can operate on and exploit tree-structured data.
