Cheap, Fast and Good Enough: Automatic Speech Recognition with Non-Expert Transcription
Deploying an automatic speech recognition system with reasonable performance requires expensive and time-consuming in-domain transcription. Previous work demonstrated that non-pro...

Automatic Metaphor Interpretation as a Paraphrasing Task
We present a novel approach to metaphor interpretation and a system that produces literal paraphrases for metaphorical expressions. Such a representation is directly transferable ...

Automatic Domain Adaptation for Parsing
Current statistical parsers tend to perform well only on their training domain and nearby genres. While strong performance on a few related domains is sufficient for many situatio...

Multi-document Summarization via Budgeted Maximization of Submodular Functions
We treat the text summarization problem as maximizing a submodular function under a budget constraint. We show, both theoretically and empirically, a modified greedy algorithm can...

Optimal Parsing Strategies for Linear Context-Free Rewriting Systems
Factorization is the operation of transforming a production in a Linear Context-Free Rewriting System (LCFRS) into two simpler productions by factoring out a subset of the nonterm...

The Effect of Ambiguity on the Automated Acquisition of WSD Examples
Several methods for automatically generating labeled examples that can be used as training data for WSD systems have been proposed, including a semisupervised approach based on re...

Multi-Prototype Vector-Space Models of Word Meaning
Current vector-space models of lexical semantics create a single "prototype" vector to represent the meaning of a word. However, due to lexical ambiguity, encoding word ...

An Efficient Algorithm for Easy-First Non-Directional Dependency Parsing
We present a novel deterministic dependency parsing algorithm that attempts to create the easiest arcs in the dependency structure first in a non-directional manner. Traditional d...

The Simple Truth about Dependency and Phrase Structure Representations: An Opinion Piece
There are many misconceptions about dependency representations and phrase structure representations for syntax. They are partly due to terminological confusion, partly due to a la...

Why Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammars?
Synchronous tree substitution grammars are a translation model that is used in syntax-based machine translation. They are investigated in a formal setting and compared to a compet...
