We report in this paper the observation of one tokenization per source. That is, the same critical fragment in different sentences from the same source almost always realize one a...
We present an empirical study of the applicability of Probabilistic Lexicalized Tree Insertion Grammars (PLTIG), a lexicalized counterpart to Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars (...
A critical path in the development of natural language understanding NLU modules lies in the di culty of de ning a mapping from words to semantics: Usually it takes in the order o...
This paper presents a new model for word alignments between parallel sentences, which allows one to accurately estimate different parameters, in a computationally efficient way. A...
We introduce an algorithm for scope resolution in underspecified semantic representations. Scope preferences are suggested on the basis of semantic argument structure. The major n...
This paper proposes an input-splitting method for translating spoken-language which includes many long or ill-formed expressions. The proposed method splits input into well-balanc...
A layered approach to information retrieval permits the inclusion of multiple search engines as well as multiple databases, with a natural language layer to convert English querie...
In this paper we deal with several kinds of anaphora in unrestricted texts. These kinds of anaphora are pronominal references, surfacecount anaphora and one-anaphora. In order to ...
In this paper we present the results of the combination of stochastic and rule-based disambiguation methods applied to Basque languagel. The methods we have used in disambiguation...
