We propose two hashing-based solutions to the problem of fast and effective personal names spelling correction in People Search applications. The key idea behind our methods is to...
Multi-category bootstrapping algorithms were developed to reduce semantic drift. By extracting multiple semantic lexicons simultaneously, a category's search space may be res...
Unknown lexical items present a major obstacle to the development of broadcoverage semantic role labeling systems. We address this problem with a semisupervised learning approach ...
In a linguistically-motivated syntax-based translation system, the entire translation process is normally carried out in two steps, translation rule matching and target sentence d...
Crosslingual Information Retrieval (CLIR) usually requires query translation and, due to named entities in the case of IR, query translation requires a good transliteration system ...
