Automatic Extraction of Aspectual Information from a Monolingual Corpus
This paper describes an approach to extract the aspectual information of Japanese verb phrases from a monolingual corpus. We classify Verbs into six categories by means of the asp...

Representing Constraints with Automata
In this paper we describe an approach to constraint based syntactic theories in terms of finite tree automata. The solutions to constraints expressed in weak monadic second order ...

A Uniform Approach to Underspecification and Parallelism
We propose a unified framework in which to treat semantic underspecification and parallelism phenomena in discourse. The framework employs a constraint language that can express e...

A Portable Algorithm for Mapping Bitext Correspondence
The first step in most empirical work in multilingual NLP is to construct maps of the correspondence between texts and their translations (bitext maps). The Smooth Injective Map R...

Using Syntactic Dependency as Local Context to Resolve Word Sense Ambiguity
Most previous corpus-based algorithms disambiguate a word with a classifier trained from previous usages of the same word. Separate classifiers have to be trained for different wo...

Ambiguity Resolution for Machine Translation of Telegraphic Messages
Telegraphic messages with numerous instances of omission pose a new challenge to parsing in that a sentence with omission causes a higher degree of ambi6uity than a sentence witho...
