Flexible, Corpus-Based Modelling of Human Plausibility Judgements
In this paper, we consider the computational modelling of human plausibility judgements for verb-relation-argument triples, a task equivalent to the computation of selectional pre...

V-Measure: A Conditional Entropy-Based External Cluster Evaluation Measure
We present V-measure, an external entropybased cluster evaluation measure. Vmeasure provides an elegant solution to many problems that affect previously defined cluster evaluatio...

Online Large-Margin Training for Statistical Machine Translation
We achieved a state of the art performance in statistical machine translation by using a large number of features with an online large-margin training algorithm. The millions of p...

Frustratingly Hard Domain Adaptation for Dependency Parsing
We describe some challenges of adaptation in the 2007 CoNLL Shared Task on Domain Adaptation. Our error analysis for this task suggests that a primary source of error is differenc...

Tree Kernel-Based Relation Extraction with Context-Sensitive Structured Parse Tree Information
This paper proposes a tree kernel with contextsensitive structured parse tree information for relation extraction. It resolves two critical problems in previous tree kernels for r...

Hierarchical System Combination for Machine Translation
Given multiple translations of the same source sentence, how to combine them to produce a translation that is better than any single system output? We propose a hierarchical syste...

Japanese Dependency Analysis Using the Ancestor-Descendant Relation
We propose a novel method for Japanese dependency analysis, which is usually reduced to the construction of a dependency tree. In deterministic approaches to this task, dependency...
