Log-linear parsing models are often trained by optimizing likelihood, but we would prefer to optimise for a task-specific metric like Fmeasure. Softmax-margin is a convex objecti...
This paper describes a hybrid parsing method for Japanese which uses both a hand-crafted grammar and a statistical technique. The key feature of our system is that in order to est...
Classification problems with a very large or unbounded set of output categories are common in many areas such as natural language and image processing. In order to improve accurac...

This paper describes the development of QuestionBank, a corpus of 4000 parseannotated questions for (i) use in training parsers employed in QA, and (ii) evaluation of question par...
This paper investigates the usefulness of sentence-internal prosodic cues in syntactic parsing of transcribed speech. Intuitively, prosodic cues would seem to provide much the sam...
