Supervised Learning of a Probabilistic Lexicon of Verb Semantic Classes
The work presented in this paper explores a supervised method for learning a probabilistic model of a lexicon of VerbNet classes. We intend for the probabilistic model to provide ...

Discriminative Substring Decoding for Transliteration
We present a discriminative substring decoder for transliteration. This decoder extends recent approaches for discriminative character transduction by allowing for a list of known...

On the Role of Lexical Features in Sequence Labeling
We use the technique of SVM anchoring to demonstrate that lexical features extracted from a training corpus are not necessary to obtain state of the art results on tasks such as N...

Active Learning by Labeling Features
Methods that learn from prior information about input features such as generalized expectation (GE) have been used to train accurate models with very little effort. In this paper,...

Graph Alignment for Semi-Supervised Semantic Role Labeling
Unknown lexical items present a major obstacle to the development of broadcoverage semantic role labeling systems. We address this problem with a semisupervised learning approach ...

Simple Coreference Resolution with Rich Syntactic and Semantic Features
Coreference systems are driven by syntactic, semantic, and discourse constraints. We present a simple approach which completely modularizes these three aspects. In contrast to muc...

Weighted Alignment Matrices for Statistical Machine Translation
Current statistical machine translation systems usually extract rules from bilingual corpora annotated with 1-best alignments. They are prone to learn noisy rules due to alignment...

Cross-lingual Semantic Relatedness Using Encyclopedic Knowledge
In this paper, we address the task of crosslingual semantic relatedness. We introduce a method that relies on the information extracted from Wikipedia, by exploiting the interlang...
