When machine translation (MT) knowledge is automatically constructed from bilingual corpora, redundant rules are acquired due to translation variety. These rules increase ambiguit...
We present experimental evidence that providing naive users of a spoken dialogue system with immediate help messages related to their out-of-coverage utterances improves their suc...

This paper explores the possibility of using the paradigm of Dynamic Logic (DL) to formalise information states and update processes on information states. In particular, we prese...
The paper describes ongoing work on the evaluation of methods for extracting collocation candidates from large text corpora. Our research is based on a German treebank corpus used...
We present a neural-network-based statistical parser, trained and tested on the Penn Treebank. The neural network is used to estimate the parameters of a generative model of left-...
The Constraint Language for Lambda Structures (CLLS) is an expressive tree description language. It provides a uniform framework for underspecified semantics, covering scope, ell...
We propose a new method for detecting errors in “gold-standard” part-ofspeech annotation. The approach locates errors with high precision based on n-grams occurring in the cor...
Two apparently opposing DOP models exist in the literature: one which computes the parse tree involving the most frequent subtrees from a treebank and one which computes the parse...
This work is the first systematic investigation of initiative in human-human tutorial dialogue. We studied initiative management in two dialogue strategies: didactic tutoring and...
