— We present a general approach for the hierarchical segmentation and labeling of document layout structures. This approach models document layout as a grammar and performs a glo...
This paper presents a syntax-driven approach to question answering, specifically the answer-sentence selection problem for short-answer questions. Rather than using syntactic fea...
This work extends a semi-automatic grammar induction approach previously proposed in [1]. We investigate the use of Information Gain (IG) in place of Mutual Information (MI) for g...
Tree substitution grammars (TSGs) offer many advantages over context-free grammars (CFGs), but are hard to learn. Past approaches have resorted to heuristics. In this paper, we le...
We examine the role of simplicity in directing the induction of context-free grammars from sample sentences. We present a rational reconstruction of Wol 's SNPR { the Gridssys...
