We propose a novel unsupervised approach for distinguishing literal and non-literal use of idiomatic expressions. Our model combines an unsupervised and a supervised classifier. T...
In this paper, we explore the Lambek-Grishin calculus LG: a symmetric version of categorial grammar based on the generalizations of Lambek calculus studied in Grishin [1]. The voca...
Word alignment plays a central role in statistical MT (SMT) since almost all SMT systems extract translation rules from word aligned parallel training data. While most SMT systems...
We present a method for utilizing unannotated sentences to improve a semantic parser which maps natural language (NL) sentences into their formal meaning representations (MRs). Gi...
This paper proposes a novel method to refine the grammars in parsing by utilizing semantic knowledge from HowNet. Based on the hierarchical state-split approach, which can refine ...
