Fast Context-Free Parsing Requires Fast Boolean Matrix Multiplication
Valiant showed that Boolean matrix multiplication (BMM) can be used for CFG parsing. We prove a dual result: CFG parsers running in time O([Gl[w[3-e) on a grammar G and a string w...

Document Classification Using a Finite Mixture Model
We propose a new method of classifying documents into categories. We define for each category a finite mixture model based on soft clustering of words. We treat the problem of cla...

A Theory of Parallelism and the Case of VP Ellipsis
We provide a general account of parallelism in discourse, and apply it to the special case of resolving possible readings for instances of VP ellipsis. We show how several problem...
