Finite-state transducers give efficient representations of many Natural Language phenomena. They allow to account for complex lexicon restrictions encountered, without involving t...
Semantic feedback is an important source of information that a parser could use to deal with local ambiguities in syntax. However, it is difficult to devise a systematic communica...
This study employs a knowledge intensive corpus analysis to identify the elements of the communicative context which can be used to determine the appropriate lexical and grammatic...
An extension to classical unification, called graded unification is presented. It is capable of combining contradictory information. An interactive processing paradigm and parser ...
It is claimed that a variety of facts concerning ellipsis, event reference, and interclausal coherence can be explained by two features of the linguistic form in question: (1) whe...
The computational lexicalization of a grammar is the optimization of the links between lexicalized rules and lexical items in order to improve the quality of the bottom-up filteri...
This paper describes TextTiling,an algorithmfor partitioning expository texts into coherent multi-paragraph discourse units which re ect the subtopic structure of the texts. The a...
This paper presents our implemented computational model for interpreting and generating indirect answers to Yes-No questions. Its main features are 1) a discourse-plan-based appro...
