This paper explores the role of information retrieval in answering "relationship" questions, a new class complex information needs formally introduced in TREC 2005. Sinc...
In this paper, we present a system that automatically extracts the pros and cons from online reviews. Although many approaches have been developed for extracting opinions from tex...
We propose a novel method for automatically interpreting compound nouns based on a predefined set of semantic relations. First we map verb tokens in sentential contexts to a fixed...
A resource grammar is a standard library for the GF grammar formalism. It raises the abstraction level of writing domainspecific grammars by taking care of the general grammatical...
This paper presents an adaptive learning framework for Phonetic Similarity Modeling (PSM) that supports the automatic construction of transliteration lexicons. The learning algori...
We present parsing algorithms for various mildly non-projective dependency formalisms. In particular, algorithms are presented for: all well-nested structures of gap degree at mos...
We present a new approach for mapping natural language sentences to their formal meaning representations using stringkernel-based classifiers. Our system learns these classifiers ...
Several NLP tasks are characterized by asymmetric data where one class label NONE, signifying the absence of any structure (named entity, coreference, relation, etc.) dominates al...
This paper proposes a novel method of building polarity-tagged corpus from HTML documents. The characteristics of this method is that it is fully automatic and can be applied to a...
