There exists strong word association in natural language. Based on mutual information, this paper proposes a new MI-Trigger-based modeling approach to capture the preferred relati...
Machine Translation (MT) need not be confined to inter-language activities. In this paper, we discuss inter-dialect MT in general and Cantonese-Mandarin MT in particular. Mandarin...
In this paper, we present a chunk based partial parsing system for spontaneous, conversational speech in unrestricted domains. We show that the chunk parses produced by this parsi...
This paper presents a system which automatically generates shallow semantic frame structures for conversational speech in unrestricted domains. We argue that such shallow semantic...
Determining the attachments of prepositions and subordinate conjunctions is a key problem in parsing natural language. This paper presents a trainable approach to making these att...
In natural language processing, many methods have been proposed to solve the ambiguity problems. In this paper, we propose a technique to combine a method of interactive disambigu...
We describe the design and function of a robust processing component which is being developed for the Verbmobil speech translation system. Its task consists of collecting partial ...
Word sense disambiguation algorithms, with few exceptions, have made use of only one lexical knowledge source. We describe a system which t)erforms word sense disambiguation on al...
As HPSG is head-driven, with clear semantic heads, semantic head-driven generation should be simple. We adapt van Noord's Prolog generator for use with an HPSG grammar in Pro...
