We present a machine learning approach for the task of ranking previously answered questions in a question repository with respect to their relevance to a new, unanswered referenc...
A central problem in grounded language acquisition is learning the correspondences between a rich world state and a stream of text which references that world state. To deal with ...
We examine the problem of overcoming noisy word-level alignments when learning tree-to-string translation rules. Our approach introduces new rules, and reestimates rule probabilit...
The sense of a preposition is related to the semantics of its dominating prepositional phrase. Knowing the sense of a preposition could help to correctly classify the semantic rol...
We consider the minimization of a smooth loss with trace-norm regularization, which is a natural objective in multi-class and multitask learning. Even though the problem is convex...
