In adding syntax to statistical MT, there is a tradeoff between taking advantage of linguistic analysis, versus allowing the model to exploit linguistically unmotivated mappings l...
This paper describes how external resources can be used to improve parser performance for heavily lexicalised grammars, looking at both robustness and efficiency. In terms of robu...
We describe two corpora of question and answer pairs collected for complex, open-domain Question Answering (QA) to enable answer classification and re-ranking experiments. We deli...
Most state-of-the-art wide-coverage parsers are trained on newspaper text and suffer a loss of accuracy in other domains, making parser adaptation a pressing issue. In this paper ...
This paper describes novel and practical Japanese parsers that uses decision trees. First, we construct a single decision tree to estimate modification probabilities; how one phra...
