A number of approaches to Automatic MT Evaluation based on deep linguistic knowledge have been suggested. However, n-gram based metrics are still today the dominant approach. The ...
This paper revisits the pivot language approach for machine translation. First, we investigate three different methods for pivot translation. Then we employ a hybrid method combin...
Spontaneously produced speech text often includes disfluencies which make it difficult to analyze underlying structure. Successful reconstruction of this text would transform thes...
Paraphrase generation (PG) is important in plenty of NLP applications. However, the research of PG is far from enough. In this paper, we propose a novel method for statistical par...
This paper addresses the task of handling unknown terms in SMT. We propose using source-language monolingual models and resources to paraphrase the source text prior to translatio...
This paper describes log-linear models for a general-purpose sentence realizer based on dependency structures. Unlike traditional realizers using grammar rules, our method realize...
The vast majority of work on word senses has relied on predefined sense inventories and an annotation schema where each word instance is tagged with the best fitting sense. This p...
A parsing makes 1-best search efficient by suppressing unlikely 1-best items. Existing kbest extraction methods can efficiently search for top derivations, but only after an exhau...
We describe an unsupervised system for learning narrative schemas, coherent sequences or sets of events (arrested(POLICE,SUSPECT), convicted( JUDGE, SUSPECT)) whose arguments are ...
