A Discriminative Syntactic Word Order Model for Machine Translation
We present a global discriminative statistical word order model for machine translation. Our model combines syntactic movement and surface movement information, and is discriminat...

Exploiting Feature Hierarchy for Transfer Learning in Named Entity Recognition
We present a novel hierarchical prior structure for supervised transfer learning in named entity recognition, motivated by the common structure of feature spaces for this task acr...

Hedge Classification in Biomedical Texts with a Weakly Supervised Selection of Keywords
Since facts or statements in a hedge or negated context typically appear as false positives, the proper handling of these language phenomena is of great importance in biomedical t...

Detecting Semantic Relations between Named Entities in Text Using Contextual Features
This paper proposes a supervised learning method for detecting a semantic relation between a given pair of named entities, which may be located in different sentences. The method ...

Learning to Extract Relations from the Web using Minimal Supervision
We present a new approach to relation extraction that requires only a handful of training examples. Given a few pairs of named entities known to exhibit or not exhibit a particula...

Constituent Parsing with Incremental Sigmoid Belief Networks
We introduce a framework for syntactic parsing with latent variables based on a form of dynamic Sigmoid Belief Networks called Incremental Sigmoid Belief Networks. We demonstrate ...
