On a multi-dimensional text categorization task, we compare the effectiveness of a feature based approach with the use of a stateof-the-art sequential learning technique that has ...
We examine the effect of contextual and acoustic cues in the disambiguation of three discourse-pragmatic functions of the word okay. Results of a perception study show that contex...
We describe an algorithm for a novel task: disambiguating the pronoun you in conversation. You can be generic or referential; finding referential you is important for tasks such ...
In this paper we investigate a structured model for jointly classifying the sentiment of text at varying levels of granularity. Inference in the model is based on standard sequenc...

We present a fast query-based multi-document summarizer called FastSum based solely on word-frequency features of clusters, documents and topics. Summary sentences are ranked by a...
This paper presents a MapReduce algorithm for computing pairwise document similarity in large document collections. MapReduce is an attractive framework because it allows us to de...
This paper addresses a new task in sentiment classification, called multi-domain sentiment classification, that aims to improve performance through fusing training data from multi...
