We describe a new scalable algorithm for semi-supervised training of conditional random fields (CRF) and its application to partof-speech (POS) tagging. The algorithm uses a simil...
This paper compares different bilexical tree-based models for bilingual alignment. EM training for the new model benefits from the dynamic programming "hook trick". The ...
In this paper, we exploit non-local features as an estimate of long-distance dependencies to improve performance on the statistical spoken language understanding (SLU) problem. Th...
This paper presents a new strategy for designing the parallel phone recognizers for spoken language recognition. Given a collection of parallel phone recognizers, we select a subs...
Emotion words have been well used as the most obvious choice as feature in the task of textual emotion recognition and automatic emotion lexicon construction. In this work, we exp...
