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...
An approach to automatic detection of syllable structure is presented. We demonstrate a novel application of EM-based clustering to multivariate data, exempli ed by the induction ...
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...
In wide-coverage lexicalized grammars many of the elementary structures have substructures in common. This means that in conventional parsing algorithms some of the computation as...
