Priority Union and Generalization in Discourse Grammars
We describe an implementation in Carpenter's typed feature formalism, ALE, of a discourse grammar of the kind proposed by Scha, Polanyi, et al. We examine their method for re...

Acquiring Receptive Morphology: A Connectionist Model
This paper describes a modular connectionist model of the acquisition of receptive inflectional morphology. The model takes inputs in the form of phones one at a time and outputs ...

Similarity-Based Estimation of Word Cooccurrence Probabilities
In many applications of natural language processing it is necessary to determine the likelihood of a given word combination. For example, a speech recognizer may need to determine...

On Determining the Consistency of Partial Descriptions of Trees
1 We examine the consistency problem for descriptions of trees based on remote dominance, and present a consistency-checking algorithm which is polynomial in the number of nodes in...

Generalized Chart Algorithm: An Efficient Procedure for Cost-Based Abduction
We present an efficient procedure for cost-based abduction, which is based on the idea of using chart parsers as proof procedures. We discuss in detail three features of our algor...
