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...
In this paper we revisit the classical NLP problem of prepositional phrase attachment (PPattachment). Given the pattern V −NP1−P −NP2 in the text, where V is verb, NP1 is a ...
While phrase-based statistical machine translation systems currently deliver state-of-theart performance, they remain weak on word order changes. Current phrase reordering models ...
There are two main topics in this paper: (i) Vietnamese words are recognized and sentences are segmented into words by using probabilistic models; (ii) the optimum probabilistic mo...
Many NLP tasks rely on accurately estimating word dependency probabilities P(w1|w2), where the words w1 and w2 have a particular relationship (such as verb-object). Because of the...
