Abstract. Two novel Natural Language Processing (NLP) classification techniques are applied to the analysis of corporate annual reports in the task of financial forecasting. The ...
Abstract. A top-down parsing algorithm has been constructed to accommodate any form of ambiguous context-free grammar, augmented with semantic rules with arbitrary attribute depend...
To specify a Bayes net (BN), a conditional probability table (CPT), often of an effect conditioned on its n causes, needs to be assessed for each node. It generally has the comple...
In many practical domains, misclassification costs can differ greatly and may be represented by class ratios, however, most learning algorithms struggle with skewed class distrib...

Many complex, real world phenomena are difficult to study directly using controlled experiments. Instead, the use of computer simulations has become commonplace as a feasible alte...
Despite the impressive amount of recent studies devoted to improving the state of the art of Machine Translation (MT), Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tools remain the preferre...
This paper shows that a detailed, although non-emotional, description of event or an action can be a reliable source for learning opinions. Empirical results show the practical uti...
Abstract. Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems can make data accessible in an easily digestible textual form; but using such systems requires sophisticated linguistic and some...
