We describe an algorithm for Japanese analysis that does both base phrase chunking and dependency parsing simultaneously in linear-time with a single scan of a sentence. In this p...
This paper describes a parsing model for speech with repairs that makes a clear separation between linguistically meaningful symbols in the grammar and operations specific to spee...
In the context of the Document Understanding Conferences, the task of Query-Focused Multi-Document Summarization is intended to improve agreement in content among humangenerated m...
In this paper, we analyze the impact of different automatic annotation methods on the performance of supervised approaches to the complex question answering problem (defined in th...
Variational EM has become a popular technique in probabilistic NLP with hidden variables. Commonly, for computational tractability, we make strong independence assumptions, such a...
We explore how features based on syntactic dependency relations can be utilized to improve performance on opinion mining. Using a transformation of dependency relation triples, we...
We experiment with splitting words into their stem and suffix components for modeling morphologically rich languages. We show that using a morphological analyzer and disambiguator...
