FLSA: Extending Latent Semantic Analysis with Features for Dialogue Act Classification
We discuss Feature Latent Semantic Analysis (FLSA), an extension to Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). LSA is a statistical method that is ordinarily trained on words only; FLSA adds...

Annealing Techniques For Unsupervised Statistical Language Learning
Exploiting unannotated natural language data is hard largely because unsupervised parameter estimation is hard. We describe deterministic annealing (Rose et al., 1990) as an appea...

Generating Referring Expressions in Open Domains
We present an algorithm for generating referring expressions in open domains. Existing algorithms work at the semantic level and assume the availability of a classification for at...
