This paper presents a method of retrieving bilingual collocations of a verb and its objective noun from cross-lingual documents with similar contents. Relevant documents are obtai...
In this paper we present a study on the interpretation of weekday names in texts. Our algorithm for assigning a date to a weekday name achieves 95.91% accuracy on a test data set ...
Matching coreferent named entities without prior knowledge requires good similarity measures. Soft-TFIDF is a fine-grained measure which performs well in this task. We propose to ...
We generalize Uno and Yagiura's algorithm for finding all common intervals of two permutations to the setting of two sequences with many-to-many alignment links across the tw...
As it serves as a basis for POS tagging, category induction, and human category acquisition, we investigate the information needed to disambiguate a word in a local context, when ...
This paper presents a novel approach to the task of semantic role labelling for event nominalisations, which make up a considerable fraction of predicates in running text, but are...
This paper presents a discriminative alignment model for extracting abbreviations and their full forms appearing in actual text. The task of abbreviation recognition is formalized...
This paper presents a probabilistic model for Japanese zero anaphora resolution. First, this model recognizes discourse entities and links all mentions to them. Zero pronouns are ...
In this paper, we describe a new reranking strategy named word lattice reranking, for the task of joint Chinese word segmentation and part-of-speech (POS) tagging. As a derivation...
