12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the intrinsic loss function is based on an average arc length score.
10. A device, comprising: a database storing a first given target; a processor in connection with said database, said processor configured to: receive a first dataset including a first given source and the corresponding first given target; parse the first given source to determine a first parsed target output in accordance with a parsing model having a first parsing parameter; determine an intrinsic loss based upon an intrinsic loss function, the first parsed target and the first given target; receive a second dataset containing a second given source and a corresponding second given target; parse the second given source input to generate k-best parses in accordance with the parsing model having a second parsing parameter, the k-best parses including a 1-best parse; determine a lowest cost parse among the k-best parses; determine an extrinsic loss based upon an extrinsic loss function, the lowest cost parse and the 1-best parse; modify the first parsing parameter based on the determination of the intrinsic loss; and modify the second parsing parameter based on the determination of the extrinsic loss, or modify the first parameter based on the determination of the intrinsic loss and modify the second parsing parameter based on the determination of the extrinsic loss.
