The class imbalance problem (when one of the classes has much less samples than the others) is of great importance in machine learning, because it corresponds to many critical app...
A conic integer program is an integer programming problem with conic constraints. Conic integer programming has important applications in finance, engineering, statistical learnin...
We present an approach to pronoun resolution based on syntactic paths. Through a simple bootstrapping procedure, we learn the likelihood of coreference between a pronoun and a can...
We investigate prototype-driven learning for primarily unsupervised grammar induction. Prior knowledge is specified declaratively, by providing a few canonical examples of each ta...
Most statistical parsers have used the grammar induction approach, in which a stochastic grammar is induced from a treebank. An alternative approach is to induce a controller for ...
