Dependency Parsing and Domain Adaptation with LR Models and Parser Ensembles
We present a data-driven variant of the LR algorithm for dependency parsing, and extend it with a best-first search for probabilistic generalized LR dependency parsing. Parser act...

A Statistical Language Modeling Approach to Lattice-Based Spoken Document Retrieval
Speech recognition transcripts are far from perfect; they are not of sufficient quality to be useful on their own for spoken document retrieval. This is especially the case for c...
