Bayesian Synchronous Tree-Substitution Grammar Induction and Its Application to Sentence Compression
We describe our experiments with training algorithms for tree-to-tree synchronous tree-substitution grammar (STSG) for monolingual translation tasks such as sentence compression a...

A Risk Minimization Framework for Extractive Speech Summarization
In this paper, we formulate extractive summarization as a risk minimization problem and propose a unified probabilistic framework that naturally combines supervised and unsupervis...
