Extracting Synchronous Grammar Rules From Word-Level Alignments in Linear Time
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...

Representations for category disambiguation
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 ...
