Predicting Student Emotions in Computer-Human Tutoring Dialogues
We examine the utility of speech and lexical features for predicting student emotions in computerhuman spoken tutoring dialogues. We first annotate student turns for negative, neu...

A Joint Source-Channel Model for Machine Transliteration
Most foreign names are transliterated into Chinese, Japanese or Korean with approximate phonetic equivalents. The transliteration is usually achieved through intermediate phonemic...

Applying Machine Learning to Chinese Temporal Relation Resolution
Temporal relation resolution involves extraction of temporal information explicitly or implicitly embedded in a language. This information is often inferred from a variety of inte...

Deep Dependencies from Context-Free Statistical Parsers: Correcting the Surface Dependency Approximation
We present a linguistically-motivated algorithm for reconstructing nonlocal dependency in broad-coverage context-free parse trees derived from treebanks. We use an algorithm based...

Corpus-Based Induction of Syntactic Structure: Models of Dependency and Constituency
We present a generative model for the unsupervised learning of dependency structures. We also describe the multiplicative combination of this dependency model with a model of line...

Evaluating Centering-Based Metrics of Coherence
We use a reliably annotated corpus to compare metrics of coherence based on Centering Theory with respect to their potential usefulness for text structuring in natural language ge...

A TAG-based noisy-channel model of speech repairs
This paper describes a noisy channel model of speech repairs, which can identify and correct repairs in speech transcripts. A syntactic parser is used as the source model, and a n...

Enriching the Output of a Parser Using Memory-based Learning
We describe a method for enriching the output of a parser with information available in a corpus. The method is based on graph rewriting using memorybased learning, applied to dep...

Acquiring the Meaning of Discourse Markers
This paper applies machine learning techniques to acquiring aspects of the meaning of discourse markers. Three subtasks of acquiring the meaning of a discourse marker are consider...
