Taxonomies are an important resource for a variety of Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. Despite this, the current stateof-the-art methods in taxonomy learning have d...
We present a supervised machine learning algorithm for metonymy resolution, which exploits the similarity between examples of conventional metonymy. We show that syntactic head-mo...
We present a method for extracting selectional preferences of verbs from unannotated text. These selectional preferences are linked to an ontology (e.g. the hypernym relations foun...
We propose a framework MIC (Multiple Inclusion Criterion) for learning sparse models based on the information theoretic Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle. MIC provides an...

Leslie Valiant recently proposed a theory of holographic algorithms. These novel algorithms achieve exponential speed-ups for certain computational problems compared to naive algo...
