Mixed Initiative in Dialogue: An Investigation into Discourse Segmentation
Conversation between two people is usually of MIXED-INITIATIVE, with CONTROL over the conversation being transferred from one person to another. We apply a set of rules for the tr...

Polynomial Time Parsing of Combinatory Categorial Grammars
In this paper we present a polynomial time parsing algorithm for Combinatory Categorial Grammar. The recognition phase extends the CKY algorithm for CFG. The process of generating...

Automated Inversion of Logic Grammars for Generation
We describe a system of reversible grammar in which, given a logic-grammar specification of a natural language, two efficient PROLOGprograms are derived by an off-line compilation...

Automatically Extracting and Representing Collocations for Language Generation
Collocational knowledge is necessary for language generation. The problem is that collocations come in a large variety of forms. They can involve two, three or more words, these w...

Deterministic Left to Right Parsing of Tree Adjoining Languages
We define a set of deterministic bottom-up left to right parsers which analyze a subset of Tree Adjoining Languages. The LR parsing strategy for Context Free Grammars is extended ...

Computational Structure of Generative Phonology and its Relation to Language Comprehension
We analyse the computational complexity of phonological models as they have developed over the past twenty years. The major results ate that generation and recognition are undecid...

Transforming Syntactic Graphs into Semantic Graphs
In this paper, we present a computational method for transforming a syntactic graph, which represents all syntactic interpretations of a sentence, into a semantic graph which filt...

The Computational Complexity of Avoiding Conversational Implicatures
Referring expressions and other object descriptions should be maximal under the Local Brevity, No Unnecessary Components, and Lexical Preference preference rules; otherwise, they ...

Parsing the LOB Corpus
This paper1 presents a rapid and robust parsing system currently used to learn from large bodies of unedited text. The system contains a multivalued part-of-speech disambiguator a...
