Use of Default Reasoning for Disambiguation Under Question Answering
We develop the default logic for pragmatic analysis of natural language queries. Ambiguous sentences are considered so that each set of meanings is assigned an extension of defaul...

Minimum Risk Annealing for Training Log-Linear Models
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...

Distributed Representation of Syntactic Structure by Tensor Product Representation and Non-Linear Compression
Representing lexicons and sentences with the subsymbolic approach (using techniques such as Self Organizing Map (SOM) or Artificial Neural Network (ANN)) is a relatively new but i...
