Blocked Inference in Bayesian Tree Substitution Grammars
Learning a tree substitution grammar is very challenging due to derivational ambiguity. Our recent approach used a Bayesian non-parametric model to induce good derivations from tr...

Using Parse Features for Preposition Selection and Error Detection
We evaluate the effect of adding parse features to a leading model of preposition usage. Results show a significant improvement in the preposition selection task on native speaker...

Semantics-Driven Shallow Parsing for Chinese Semantic Role Labeling
One deficiency of current shallow parsing based Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) methods is that syntactic chunks are too small to effectively group words. To partially resolve this p...
