CCG supertagging can be regarded as a sequence labeling problem that remains a challenging problem where each word is assigned to a CCG lexical category and the number of the probably associated CCG supertags to each word is large. To address this, recently recurrent neural networks(RNNs), as extremely powerful sequential models, have been proposed for CCG supertagging and achieved good performances. In this paper, a variant of recurrent networks is proposed whose design makes it much easier to train and memorize information for long range dependencies based on gated recurrent units(GRUs), which have been recently introduced on some but not all tasks.
