Recent work on Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) has demonstrated the need for regularisation when applying these models to real-world NLP data sets. Conventional approaches to regu...
Abstract. Fixed multiword expressions are strings of words which together behave like a single word. This research establishes a method for the automatic extraction of such express...
This paper presents a supervised approach for relation extraction. We apply Support Vector Machines to detect and classify the relations in Automatic Content Extraction (ACE) corpu...
This paper presents a method for acquiring synonyms from monolingual comparable text (MCT). MCT denotes a set of monolingual texts whose contents are similar and can be obtained au...
Abstract. This paper describes a method of adapting a domain-independent HPSG parser to a biomedical domain. Without modifying the grammar and the probabilistic model of the origin...
Abstract. In this paper, we describe a method of automatically generating summary slides from a text. The slides are generated by itemizing topic/non-topic parts that are extracted...
Abstract. In this paper, we explore the syntactic relation patterns for opendomain factoid question answering. We propose a pattern extraction method to extract the various relatio...
Abstract. We present a new method for computing semantic relatedness of concepts. The method relies solely on the structure of a conceptual network and eliminates the need for perf...
