Self-Organizing Markov Models and Their Application to Part-of-Speech Tagging
This paper presents a method to develop a class of variable memory Markov models that have higher memory capacity than traditional (uniform memory) Markov models. The structure of...

Probabilistic Text Structuring: Experiments with Sentence Ordering
Ordering information is a critical task for natural language generation applications. In this paper we propose an approach to information ordering that is particularly suited for ...

Fast Methods for Kernel-Based Text Analysis
Kernel-based learning (e.g., Support Vector Machines) has been successfully applied to many hard problems in Natural Language Processing (NLP). In NLP, although feature combinatio...

Parametric Models of Linguistic Count Data
It is well known that occurrence counts of words in documents are often modeled poorly by standard distributions like the binomial or Poisson. Observed counts vary more than simpl...

Feedback Cleaning of Machine Translation Rules Using Automatic Evaluation
When rules of transfer-based machine translation (MT) are automatically acquired from bilingual corpora, incorrect/redundant rules are generated due to acquisition errors or trans...

Parsing with Generative Models of Predicate-Argument Structure
The model used by the CCG parser of Hockenmaier and Steedman (2002b) would fail to capture the correct bilexical dependencies in a language with freer word order, such as Dutch. T...

Loosely Tree-Based Alignment for Machine Translation
We augment a model of translation based on re-ordering nodes in syntactic trees in order to allow alignments not conforming to the original tree structure, while keeping computati...

Unsupervised Learning of Dependency Structure for Language Modeling
This paper presents a dependency language model (DLM) that captures linguistic constraints via a dependency structure, i.e., a set of probabilistic dependencies that express the r...
