This paper shows that discriminative reranking with an averaged perceptron model yields substantial improvements in realization quality with CCG. The paper confirms the utility of...
This paper presents a method for adapting a language generator to the strengths and weaknesses of a synthetic voice, thereby improving the naturalness of synthetic speech in a spo...
We present a novel discriminative approach to parsing inspired by the large-margin criterion underlying support vector machines. Our formulation uses a factorization analogous to ...

Parser disambiguation with precision grammars generally takes place via statistical ranking of the parse yield of the grammar using a supervised parse selection model. In the stan...
Factoid questions often contain one or more assertions (facts) about their answers. However, existing question-answering (QA) systems have not investigated how the multiple facts ...
