The classical Probability Ranking Principle (PRP) forms the theoretical basis for probabilistic Information Retrieval (IR) models, which are dominating IR theory since about 20 ye...
In previous papers, we have presented a logic-based framework based on fusion rules for merging structured news reports [Hun00, Hun02b, Hun02a, HS03, HS04]. Structured news report...
We present three novel methods of compactly storing very large n-gram language models. These methods use substantially less space than all known approaches and allow n-gram probab...
Conventional wisdom dictates that synchronous context-free grammars (SCFGs) must be converted to Chomsky Normal Form (CNF) to ensure cubic time decoding. For arbitrary SCFGs, this...
Statistical bilingual word alignment has been well studied in the context of machine translation. This paper adapts the bilingual word alignment algorithm to monolingual scenario ...
