Automatic sense prediction for implicit discourse relations in text
We present a series of experiments on automatically identifying the sense of implicit discourse relations, i.e. relations that are not marked with a discourse connective such as &...

Improving Tree-to-Tree Translation with Packed Forests
Current tree-to-tree models suffer from parsing errors as they usually use only 1best parses for rule extraction and decoding. We instead propose a forest-based tree-to-tree model...

Exploiting Heterogeneous Treebanks for Parsing
We address the issue of using heterogeneous treebanks for parsing by breaking it down into two sub-problems, converting grammar formalisms of the treebanks to the same one, and pa...

Cross-Domain Dependency Parsing Using a Deep Linguistic Grammar
Pure statistical parsing systems achieves high in-domain accuracy but performs poorly out-domain. In this paper, we propose two different approaches to produce syntactic dependenc...

Stochastic Gradient Descent Training for L1-regularized Log-linear Models with Cumulative Penalty
Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) uses approximate gradients estimated from subsets of the training data and updates the parameters in an online fashion. This learning framework i...

A Gibbs Sampler for Phrasal Synchronous Grammar Induction
We present a phrasal synchronous grammar model of translational equivalence. Unlike previous approaches, we do not resort to heuristics or constraints from a word-alignment model,...
