Mildly Context-Sensitive Dependency Languages
Dependency-based representations of natural language syntax require a fine balance between structural flexibility and computational complexity. In previous work, several constra...

A Discriminative Syntactic Word Order Model for Machine Translation
We present a global discriminative statistical word order model for machine translation. Our model combines syntactic movement and surface movement information, and is discriminat...

Detecting Semantic Relations between Named Entities in Text Using Contextual Features
This paper proposes a supervised learning method for detecting a semantic relation between a given pair of named entities, which may be located in different sentences. The method ...

Learning to Extract Relations from the Web using Minimal Supervision
We present a new approach to relation extraction that requires only a handful of training examples. Given a few pairs of named entities known to exhibit or not exhibit a particula...

Constituent Parsing with Incremental Sigmoid Belief Networks
We introduce a framework for syntactic parsing with latent variables based on a form of dynamic Sigmoid Belief Networks called Incremental Sigmoid Belief Networks. We demonstrate ...

Real-Time Correction of Closed-Captions
Live closed-captions for deaf and hard of hearing audiences are currently produced by stenographers, or by voice writers using speech recognition. Both techniques can produce capt...

Vocabulary Decomposition for Estonian Open Vocabulary Speech Recognition
Speech recognition in many morphologically rich languages suffers from a very high out-of-vocabulary (OOV) ratio. Earlier work has shown that vocabulary decomposition methods can ...
