This paper presents a novel approach to the unsupervised learning of syntactic analyses of natural language text. Most previous work has focused on maximizing likelihood according...
We describe recent work on MedSLT, a medium-vocabulary interlingua-based medical speech translation system, focussing on issues that arise when handling languages of which the gra...
A wide range of evidence points to a preference for syntactic structures in which dependencies are short. Here we examine the question: what kinds of dependency configurations min...
We present a new grammar formalism for parsing with freer word-order languages, motivated by recent linguistic research in German and the Slavic languages. Unlike CFGs, these gram...
This paper provides a method for generating compact and efficient code to implement the enforcement of a description in typed feature logic. It does so by viewing information abo...
