In this paper aim to understand this result better. We show how recurrent models can carry out projective maximum spanning tree decoding. This result holds for both current state-of-the-art models for shift-reduce and graph-based parsers, projective or not. We also provide the first proof on the lower bounds of projective maximum spanning tree decoding. %R 10.18653/v1/N19-1022 %U https://aclanthology.org/N19-1022 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/N19-1022 %P 251-260
