A Two-Stage Parser for Multilingual Dependency Parsing
We present a two-stage multilingual dependency parsing system submitted to the Multilingual Track of CoNLL-2007. The parser first identifies dependencies using a deterministic p...

A Statistical Language Modeling Approach to Lattice-Based Spoken Document Retrieval
Speech recognition transcripts are far from perfect; they are not of sufficient quality to be useful on their own for spoken document retrieval. This is especially the case for c...

Flexible, Corpus-Based Modelling of Human Plausibility Judgements
In this paper, we consider the computational modelling of human plausibility judgements for verb-relation-argument triples, a task equivalent to the computation of selectional pre...
