Much work has been done on building a parser for natural languages, but most of this work has concentrated on supervised parsing. Unsupervised parsing is a less explored area, and...
This paper presents a new dependence language modeling approach to information retrieval. The approach extends the basic language modeling approach based on unigram by relaxing th...

An N-gram language model aims at capturing statistical word order dependency information from corpora. Although the concept of language models has been applied extensively to handl...
We demonstrate the effectiveness of multilingual learning for unsupervised part-of-speech tagging. The key hypothesis of multilingual learning is that by combining cues from multi...
