We present two language models based upon an "immediate-head" parser -our name for a parser that conditions all events below a constituent c upon the head of c. While al...
Abstract. Model differences calculated by differencing algorithms contain the atomic changes made to a model. However, they do not capture the user’s intention of the modifica...
Probabilistic models of sentence comprehension are increasingly relevant to questions concerning human language processing. However, such models are often limited to syntactic fac...
This paper proposes a probabilistic model for associative anaphora resolution in Japanese. Associative anaphora is a type of bridging anaphora, in which the anaphor and its antece...
We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
