We propose a sequence-alignment based method for detecting and disambiguating coordinate conjunctions. In this method, averaged perceptron learning is used to adapt the substituti...
Semantic inference is a core component of many natural language applications. In response, several researchers have developed algorithms for automatically learning inference rules...
Temporal relation resolution involves extraction of temporal information explicitly or implicitly embedded in a language. This information is often inferred from a variety of inte...
This paper investigates a machine learning approach for temporally ordering and anchoring events in natural language texts. To address data sparseness, we used temporal reasoning ...

The regular occurrence of disfluencies is a distinguishing characteristic of spontaneous speech. Detecting and removing such disfluencies can substantially improve the usefulness ...
