This paper presents a method for word sense disambiguation and coherence understanding of prepositional relations. The method relies on information provided by
Many different metrics exist for evaluating parsing results, including Viterbi, Crossing Brackets Rate, Zero Crossing Brackets Rate, and several others. However, most parsing algo...
This paper addresses the problem of correcting spelling errors that result in valid, though unintended words (such as peace and piece, or quiet and quite) and also the problem of ...
In this paper, we show that Higher-Order Coloured Unification - a form of unification developed for automated theorem proving - provides a general theory for modeling the interfac...
The development of natural language processing (NLP) systems that perform machine translation (MT) and information retrieval (IR) has highlighted the need for the automatic recogn...
Optimality Theory, a constraint-based phonology and morphology paradigm, has allowed linguists to make elegant analyses of many phenomena, including infixation and reduplication. ...
In this paper, we propose a textual clue approach to help metaphor detection, in order to improve the semantic processing of this figure. The previous works in the domain studied ...
Information retrieval is an important application area of natural-language processing where one encounters the genuine challenge of processing large quantities of unrestricted nat...
Corpus-based methods for natural language processing often use supervised training, requiring expensive manual annotation of training corpora. This paper investigates methods for ...
