We describe a set of supervised machine learning experiments centering on the construction of statistical models of WH-questions. These models, which are built from shallow lingui...
Synchronous tree substitution grammars are a translation model that is used in syntax-based machine translation. They are investigated in a formal setting and compared to a compet...
We investigate the influence of information status (IS) on constituent order in German, and integrate our findings into a loglinear surface realisation ranking model. We show that...
We propose an unsupervised approach utilizing only raw corpora to enhance morphological alignment involving highly inflected languages. Our method focuses on closed-class morpheme...
We propose a generative model based on Temporal Restricted Boltzmann Machines for transition based dependency parsing. The parse tree is built incrementally using a shiftreduce pa...
