Natural languages are easy to learn by infants, they can express any thought that any adult might ever conceive, and they accommodate the limitations of human breathing rates and s...
Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG) is new, modular grammar formalism for natural language. An XDG analysis is a multi-dimensional dependency graph, where each dimension represent...
The project described by the present paper aims at building a bridge between Intelligent Query Interfaces and Natural Language Generation technologies. The idea is to have a query...
Learning tasks from a single demonstration presents a significant challenge because the observed sequence is inherently an incomplete representation of the procedure that is speci...

In recent years tree kernels have been proposed for the automatic learning of natural language applications. Unfortunately, they show (a) an inherent super linear complexity and (...
We develop the default logic for pragmatic analysis of natural language queries. Ambiguous sentences are considered so that each set of meanings is assigned an extension of defaul...
This work is motivated by the task of describing in natural language a concept defined in an OWL DL ontology. However, rather than focussing on linguistic issues, we address the q...
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...
Representing lexicons and sentences with the subsymbolic approach (using techniques such as Self Organizing Map (SOM) or Artificial Neural Network (ANN)) is a relatively new but i...
The need for Natural Language Interfaces to databases (NLIs) has become increasingly acute as more and more people access information through their web browsers, PDAs, and cell ph...
