Extending Statistical Machine Translation with Discriminative and Trigger-Based Lexicon Models
In this work, we propose two extensions of standard word lexicons in statistical machine translation: A discriminative word lexicon that uses sentence-level source information to ...

EEG responds to conceptual stimuli and corpus semantics
Mitchell et al. (2008) demonstrated that corpus-extracted models of semantic knowledge can predict neural activation patterns recorded using fMRI. This could be a very powerful te...

Bilingually-Constrained (Monolingual) Shift-Reduce Parsing
Jointly parsing two languages has been shown to improve accuracies on either or both sides. However, its search space is much bigger than the monolingual case, forcing existing ap...
