Abstract. Weighted distance measure and discriminative training are two different approaches to enhance VQ-based solutions for speaker identification. To account for varying import...
We present an algorithm for unsupervised induction of labeled parse trees. The algorithm has three stages: bracketing, initial labeling, and label clustering. Bracketing is done f...
In many applications of natural language processing it is necessary to determine the likelihood of a given word combination. For example, a speech recognizer may need to determine...
This paper presents a supervised approach for relation extraction. We apply Support Vector Machines to detect and classify the relations in Automatic Content Extraction (ACE) corpu...
