This paper studies transliteration alignment, its evaluation metrics and applications. We propose a new evaluation metric, alignment entropy, grounded on the information theory, t...
When a multi-lingual question-answering (QA) system provides an answer that has been incorrectly translated, it is very likely to be regarded as irrelevant. In this paper, we prop...
In this paper, we present a reinforcement learning approach for mapping natural language instructions to sequences of executable actions. We assume access to a reward function tha...

Iterative bootstrapping algorithms are typically compared using a single set of handpicked seeds. However, we demonstrate that performance varies greatly depending on these seeds,...
We propose a hybrid approach to coordinate structure analysis that combines a simple grammar to ensure consistent global structure of coordinations in a sentence, and features bas...
