Improved Discriminative Bilingual Word Alignment
For many years, statistical machine translation relied on generative models to provide bilingual word alignments. In 2005, several independent efforts showed that discriminative m...

Semantic Parsing with Structured SVM Ensemble Classification Models
We present a learning framework for structured support vector models in which boosting and bagging methods are used to construct ensemble models. We also propose a selection metho...

Investigations on Event-Based Summarization
We investigate independent and relevant event-based extractive mutli-document summarization approaches. In this paper, events are defined as event terms and associated event eleme...

A Hierarchical Bayesian Language Model Based On Pitman-Yor Processes
We propose a new hierarchical Bayesian n-gram model of natural languages. Our model makes use of a generalization of the commonly used Dirichlet distributions called Pitman-Yor pr...

Semantic Retrieval for the Accurate Identification of Relational Concepts in Massive Textbases
This paper introduces a novel framework for the accurate retrieval of relational concepts from huge texts. Prior to retrieval, all sentences are annotated with predicate argument ...

Minimum Cut Model for Spoken Lecture Segmentation
We consider the task of unsupervised lecture segmentation. We formalize segmentation as a graph-partitioning task that optimizes the normalized cut criterion. Our approach moves b...
