We present a data and error analysis for semantic role labelling. In a first experiment, we build a generic statistical model for semantic role assignment in the FrameNet paradigm...
This paper takes a critical look at the features used in the semantic role tagging literature and show that the information in the input, generally a syntactic parse tree, has yet...
Chinese part-of-speech (POS) tagging assigns one POS tag to each word in a Chinese sentence. However, since words are not demarcated in a Chinese sentence, Chinese POS tagging req...
In this paper we investigate whether paragraphs can be identified automatically in different languages and domains. We propose a machine learning approach which exploits textual a...
We perform Noun Phrase Bracketing by using a local, maximum entropy-based tagging model, which produces bracketing hypotheses. These hypotheses are subsequently fed into a reranki...
Active learning (AL) promises to reduce the cost of annotating labeled datasets for trainable human language technologies. Contrary to expectations, when creating labeled training...
We describe experiments carried out with adaptive language and translation models in the context of an interactive computer-assisted translation program. We developed cache-based ...

Traditional word alignment approaches cannot come up with satisfactory results for Named Entities. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using a maximum entropy model for nam...
Broad-coverage repositories of semantic relations between verbs could benefit many NLP tasks. We present a semi-automatic method for extracting fine-grained semantic relations bet...
We address the issue of judging the significance of rare events as it typically arises in statistical naturallanguage processing. We first define a general approach to the problem...
