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...
We present ParaMetric, an automatic evaluation metric for data-driven approaches to paraphrasing. ParaMetric provides an objective measure of quality using a collection of multipl...
In Semantic Role Labeling (SRL), arguments are usually limited in a syntax subtree. It is reasonable to label arguments locally in such a sub-tree rather than a whole tree. To ide...
tra Statistical machine translation systems are usually trained on large amounts of bilingual text and monolingual text. In this paper, we propose a method to perform domain adapta...
