The use of well-nested linear context-free rewriting systems has been empirically motivated for modeling of the syntax of languages with discontinuous constituents or relatively f...
We address the problem of formatting the output of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for readability, while preserving wordlevel timing information of the transcript. O...
The automatic extraction of relations between entities expressed in natural language text is an important problem for IR and text understanding. In this paper we show how differen...
Combining word alignments trained in two translation directions has mostly relied on heuristics that are not directly motivated by intended applications. We propose a novel method...
We propose a methodology for investigating how well NLP systems handle meaning preserving syntactic variations. We start by presenting a method for the semi automated creation of ...
