Abstract. We implement Groenendijk and Stokhof's partition semantics of questions in a simple question answering algorithm. The algorithm is sound, complete, and based on tabl...
Groenendijk and Stokhof (1984, 1996; Groenendijk 1999) provide a logically attractive theory of the semantics of natural language questions, commonly referred to as the partition t...
In this paper, we discuss the utility and deficiencies of existing ontology resources for a number of language processing applications. We describe a technique for increasing the ...
Anaphora resolution is envisaged in this paper as part of the reference resolution process. A general open architecture is proposed, which can be particularized and configured in ...
Wh-phrases in English have two important properties: first, they can appear both raised and in-situ; second, while in-situ wh-phrases can take semantic scope beyond the immediately...
-- This paper introduces a novel method for synthesizing digital circuits derived from Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) that can yield to reduction in power dissipation. The power r...
This paper describes the results of some experiments exploring statistical methods to infer syntactic categories from a raw corpus in an unsupervised fashion. It shares certain po...
We report experimental results associated with speech-driven text retrieval, which facilitates retrieving information in multiple domains with spoken queries. Since users speak co...
