Lexicalized Markov Grammars for Sentence Compression
We present a sentence compression system based on synchronous context-free grammars (SCFG), following the successful noisy-channel approach of (Knight and Marcu, 2000). We define...

Statistical Phrase-Based Post-Editing
This article describes a machine translation system based on an automatic post-editing strategy: initially translate the input text into the target-language using a rule-based MT ...

Using "Annotator Rationales" to Improve Machine Learning for Text Categorization
We propose a new framework for supervised machine learning. Our goal is to learn from smaller amounts of supervised training data, by collecting a richer kind of training data: an...

Applying Many-to-Many Alignments and Hidden Markov Models to Letter-to-Phoneme Conversion
Letter-to-phoneme conversion generally requires aligned training data of letters and phonemes. Typically, the alignments are limited to one-to-one alignments. We present a novel t...

Worst-Case Synchronous Grammar Rules
We relate the problem of finding the best application of a Synchronous ContextFree Grammar (SCFG) rule during parsing to a Markov Random Field. This representation allows us to u...

Improved Inference for Unlexicalized Parsing
We present several improvements to unlexicalized parsing with hierarchically state-split PCFGs. First, we present a novel coarse-to-fine method in which a grammar’s own hierarc...

Multiple Aspect Ranking Using the Good Grief Algorithm
We address the problem of analyzing multiple related opinions in a text. For instance, in a restaurant review such opinions may include food, ambience and service. We formulate th...

Unsupervised Resolution of Objects and Relations on the Web
The task of identifying synonymous relations and objects, or Synonym Resolution (SR), is critical for high-quality information extraction. The bulk of previous SR work assumed str...

Combining Outputs from Multiple Machine Translation Systems
Currently there are several approaches to machine translation (MT) based on different paradigms; e.g., phrasal, hierarchical and syntax-based. These three approaches yield similar...
