Pipeline computation, in which a task is decomposed into several stages that are solved sequentially, is a common computational strategy in natural language processing. The key pr...
Semantic role labeling (SRL) is an important module of spoken language understanding systems. This work extends the standard evaluation metrics for joint dependency parsing and SR...
Most previous studies of morphological disambiguation and dependency parsing have been pursued independently. Morphological taggers operate on n-grams and do not take into account...
We investigate a series of targeted modifications to a data-driven dependency parser of German and show that these can be highly effective even for a relatively well studied langu...
This paper presents our experiments in question answering for speech corpora. These experiments focus on improving the answer extraction step of the QA process. We present two app...
