The originality of this work leads in tackling text compression using an unsupervised method, based on a deep linguistic analysis, and without resorting on a learning corpus. This...
We present SMMR, a scalable sentence scoring method for query-oriented update summarization. Sentences are scored thanks to a criterion combining query relevance and dissimilarity...
Computing the similarity between entities is a core component of many NLP tasks such as measuring the semantic similarity of terms for generating a distributional thesaurus. In th...
This paper elaborates a model for representing semantic calendar expressions (SCEs), which correspond to the intensional meanings of natural-language calendar phrases. The model u...
This paper studies the role of base-NP information in dependency parsing for Thai. The baseline performance reveals that the base-NP chunking task for Thai is much more difficult ...
It is shown how weighted context-free grammars can be used to recognize languages beyond their weak generative capacity by a one-step constant time extension of standard recogniti...
This work presents the development of a system that detects incorrect uses of complex postpositions in Basque, an agglutinative language. Error detection in complex postpositions ...
In this paper we propose a new distance function (rank distance) designed to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of this distance measure to capture ...
Treating classification as seeking minimum cuts in the appropriate graph has proven effective in a number of applications. The power of this approach lies in its ability to incorp...
Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in analogical learning for NLP applications. If the principle of analogical learning is quite simple, it does involve complex steps ...
