We present a probabilistic, salience-based approach to the interpretation of pointing gestures together with spoken utterances. Our mechanism models dependencies between spatial a...
We conduct a series of Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging experiments using Expectation Maximization (EM), Variational Bayes (VB) and Gibbs Sampling (GS) against the Chinese Penn Treeba...
We present GENSEM, a tool for generating input semantic representations for two sentence generators based on the same reversible Tree Adjoining Grammar. We then show how GENSEM ca...

In statistical machine translation, decoding without any reordering constraint is an NP-hard problem. Inversion Transduction Grammars (ITGs) exploit linguistic structure and can w...
Metaphorical and contextual affect detection from open-ended text-based dialogue is challenging but essential for the building of effective intelligent user interfaces. In this pa...
This article presents an original lexical unit extraction system for Chinese. The method is based on an incremental process driven by an association score featuring a minimal reso...
We demonstrate the use of context features, namely, names of places, and unlabelled data for the detection of personal name language of origin. While some early work used either r...

We present a theoretical and empirical comparative analysis of the two dominant categories of approaches in Chinese word segmentation: word-based models and character-based models...
