Minimized Models and Grammar-Informed Initialization for Supertagging with Highly Ambiguous Lexicons
We combine two complementary ideas for learning supertaggers from highly ambiguous lexicons: grammar-informed tag transitions and models minimized via integer programming. Each st...

Unsupervised Ontology Induction from Text
Extracting knowledge from unstructured text is a long-standing goal of NLP. Although learning approaches to many of its subtasks have been developed (e.g., parsing, taxonomy induc...

Global Learning of Focused Entailment Graphs
We propose a global algorithm for learning entailment relations between predicates. We define a graph structure over predicates that represents entailment relations as directed ed...

Bootstrapping Semantic Analyzers from Non-Contradictory Texts
We argue that groups of unannotated texts with overlapping and non-contradictory semantics represent a valuable source of information for learning semantic representations. A simp...

A Latent Dirichlet Allocation Method for Selectional Preferences
The computation of selectional preferences, the admissible argument values for a relation, is a well-known NLP task with broad applicability. We present LDA-SP, which utilizes Lin...

Compositional Matrix-Space Models of Language
We propose CMSMs, a novel type of generic compositional models for syntactic and semantic aspects of natural language, based on matrix multiplication. We argue for the structural ...
