The paper describes an approach to extend the coverage of a Link Grammar based parser on the constructions that are not being handled currently by the grammar. There are about thir...
Persian is one of the Indo-European languages which has borrowed its script from Arabic, a member of Semitic language family. Since Persian and Arabic scripts are so similar, prob...
Automatic recognition of Dialog-act (DA) is one of the most important processes in understanding spontaneous dialog. Most existing studies have been working on how to use various ...
Weighted tree grammars (for short: WTG) are an extension of weighted context-free grammars that generate trees instead of strings. They can be used in natural language parsing to d...
Abstract. Active language learning is an interesting task for which theoretical results are known and several applications exist. In order to better understand what the better stra...

In this paper, we first compare several strategies to handle the newly proposed three-way Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) task. Then we define a new measurement for a pair of...
Minimum error rate training (MERT) involves choosing parameter values for a machine translation (MT) system that maximize performance on a tuning set as measured by an automatic e...
Current methods of using lexical features in machine translation have difficulty in scaling up to realistic MT tasks due to a prohibitively large number of parameters involved. In...
Tree based translation models are a compelling means of integrating linguistic information into machine translation. Syntax can inform lexical selection and reordering choices and...
