ROVER is a widely used method to combine the output of multiple automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. Though effective, the basic approach and its variants suffer from poten...
Co-Simrank is a useful Simrank-like measure of similarity based on graph structure. The existing method iteratively computes each pair of Co-Simrank score from a dot product of tw...
In contrast with traditional relation extraction, which only considers a fixed set of relations, Open Information Extraction (Open IE) aims at extracting all types of relations f...

Spoken dialogue systems (SDS) are rapidly appearing in various smart devices (smartphone, smart-TV, in-car navigating system, etc). The key role in a successful SDS is a spoken la...
In this paper, we first explore the role of inter-annotator agreement statistics in grammatical error correction and conclude that they are less informative in fields where ther...
This paper addresses a novel task of semantically analyzing the comparative constructions inherent in attributive superlative expressions against structured knowledge bases (KBs)....

Expert finding on social media benefits both individuals and commercial services. In this paper, we exploit a 5-level tree representation to model the posts on social media and ...
Compared to the categorical approach that represents affective states as several discrete classes (e.g., positive and negative), the dimensional approach represents affective stat...
