We propose a structure called dependency forest for statistical machine translation. A dependency forest compactly represents multiple dependency trees. We develop new algorithms ...

We present a probabilistic, salience-based approach to the interpretation of pointing gestures together with spoken utterances. Our mechanism models dependencies between spatial a...
We are developing tools to support a conversational metaphor for requirements definition and analysis. Our conversational model consists of three components: (1) a hypertextual re...
Dominance links were introduced in grammars to model long distance scrambling phenomena, motivating the definition of multiset-valued linear indexed grammars (MLIGs) by Rambow (19...
We investigate methods of generating additional bilingual phrase pairs for a phrasebased decoder by translating short sequences of source text. Because our translation task is mor...
