Building a Semantic Parser Overnight
How do we build a semantic parser in a new domain starting with zero training examples? We introduce a new methodology for this setting: First, we use a simple grammar to generate...

Transition-based Neural Constituent Parsing
Constituent parsing is typically modeled by a chart-based algorithm under probabilistic context-free grammars or by a transition-based algorithm with rich features. Previous model...

Linguistic Template Extraction for Recognizing Reader-Emotion and Emotional Resonance Writing Assistance
In this paper, we propose a flexible principle-based approach (PBA) for reader-emotion classification and writing assistance. PBA is a highly automated process that learns emoti...
