We describe a syntax-based algorithm that automatically builds Finite State Automata (word lattices) from semantically equivalent translation sets. These FSAs are good representat...
This paper describes an effort to rapidly develop language resources and component technology to support searching Cebuano news stories using English queries. Results from the fi...

The JAVELIN system integrates a flexible, planning-based architecture with a variety of language processing modules to provide an open-domain question answering capability on fre...
We present improvements to a greedy decoding algorithm for statistical machine translation that reduce its time complexity from at least cubic ( ¢¡¤£¦¥¨§ when applied na...
The development of FrameNet, a large database of semantically annotated sentences, has primed research into statistical methods for semantic tagging. We advance previous work by a...
We investigate single-view algorithms as an alternative to multi-view algorithms for weakly supervised learning for natural language processing tasks without a natural feature spl...
In this paper, we propose a novel Cooperative Model for natural language understanding in a dialogue system. We build this based on both Finite State Model (FSM) and Statistical L...
