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 show that the standard beam-search algorithm can be used as an efficient decoder for the global linear model of Zhang and Clark (2008) for joint word segmentation and POS-taggi...
Although many algorithms have been developed to harvest lexical resources, few organize the mined terms into taxonomies. We propose (1) a semi-supervised algorithm that uses a roo...
We present a mining system that can predict the future health status of the patient using the temporal trajectories of health status of a set of similar patients. The main noveltie...
Many well-known existing image matching methods are based on local texture analysis, and consequently have difficulty handling low-textured 3D objects, such as those man-made buil...
