This paper introduces dual decomposition as a framework for deriving inference algorithms for NLP problems. The approach relies on standard dynamic-programming algorithms as oracl...

This article introduces the idea that information compression by multiple alignment, unification and search (ICMAUS) provides a framework within which natural language syntax may ...
This paper considers approaches which rerank the output of an existing probabilistic parser. The base parser produces a set of candidate parses for each input sentence, with assoc...
Abstract. We describe the construction of a generic natural language query interface to an XML database. Our interface can accept an arbitrary English sentence as a query, which ca...
We present a novel approach to extract structural information from source code using state-of-the-art parser technologies for natural languages. The parser technology is robust in...
