3.1 Single-best MIRA

  1. What is single-best MIRA, and why was it used with Chu-Liu-Edmonds?
    It keeps only one margin constraint, for the current highest-scoring tree \(y' = \arg\max_{y'} s(x_t, y')\), instead of exponentially many. Earlier projective work used the \(k\) best trees, but \(k\)-best extensions of Chu-Liu-Edmonds are too inefficient. Unlike the perceptron, MIRA updates aggressively to maximize the margin.
