Probabilistic Checking of Proofs; A New Characterization of NP
We give a new characterization of NP: the class NP contains exactly those languages L for which membership proofs (a proof that an input x is in L) can be verified probabilisticall...

Multilingual Deep Lexical Acquisition for HPSGs via Supertagging
We propose a conditional random fieldbased method for supertagging, and apply it to the task of learning new lexical items for HPSG-based precision grammars of English and Japanes...
