Re-Usable Tools for Precision Machine Translation
The LOGON MT demonstrator assembles independently valuable general-purpose NLP components into a machine translation pipeline that capitalizes on output quality. The demonstrator ...

Discriminating Image Senses by Clustering with Multimodal Features
We discuss Image Sense Discrimination (ISD), and apply a method based on spectral clustering, using multimodal features from the image and text of the embedding web page. We evalu...

Reranking and Self-Training for Parser Adaptation
Statistical parsers trained and tested on the Penn Wall Street Journal (WSJ) treebank have shown vast improvements over the last 10 years. Much of this improvement, however, is ba...

Tree-to-String Alignment Template for Statistical Machine Translation
We present a novel translation model based on tree-to-string alignment template (TAT) which describes the alignment between a source parse tree and a target string. A TAT is capab...

An Intermediate Representation for the Interpretation of Temporal Expressions
The interpretation of temporal expressions in text is an important constituent task for many practical natural language processing tasks, including question-answering, information...

Stochastic Iterative Alignment for Machine Translation Evaluation
A number of metrics for automatic evaluation of machine translation have been proposed in recent years, with some metrics focusing on measuring the adequacy of MT output, and othe...

Examining the Content Load of Part of Speech Blocks for Information Retrieval
We investigate the connection between part of speech (POS) distribution and content in language. We define POS blocks to be groups of parts of speech. We hypothesise that there ex...

Modeling Adjectives in Computational Relational Lexica
In this paper we propose a small set of lexical conceptual relations which allow to encode adjectives in computational relational lexica in a principled and integrated way. Our ma...

Are These Documents Written from Different Perspectives? A Test of Different Perspectives Based on Statistical Distribution Dive
In this paper we investigate how to automatically determine if two document collections are written from different perspectives. By perspectives we mean a point of view, for examp...

An End-to-End Discriminative Approach to Machine Translation
We present a perceptron-style discriminative approach to machine translation in which large feature sets can be exploited. Unlike discriminative reranking approaches, our system c...
