The MiPPS library supports a hybrid model of parallel programming. The library is targeted at commodity multiprocessors, with support for clusters. The implementation of the concu...
Word graphs are able to represent a large number of different utterance hypotheses in a very compact manner. However, usually they contain a huge amount of redundancy in terms of ...
This paper presents a comparative study of five parameter estimation algorithms on four NLP tasks. Three of the five algorithms are well-known in the computational linguistics com...

Unsupervised grammar induction is one of the most difficult works of language processing. Its goal is to extract a grammar representing the language structure using texts without a...
Log-linear parsing models are often trained by optimizing likelihood, but we would prefer to optimise for a task-specific metric like Fmeasure. Softmax-margin is a convex objecti...
