We describe a new algorithm for table-driven parsing with context-free grammars designed to support efficient syntactic analysis of natural language. The algorithm provides a gene...
Determining the position of breaks in a sentence is a key task for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. We describe some methods for phrase break prediction in which the whole sentence ...
Groenendijk and Stokhof (1984, 1996; Groenendijk 1999) provide a logically attractive theory of the semantics of natural language questions, commonly referred to as the partition t...
We propose Bilingual Tree Kernels (BTKs) to capture the structural similarities across a pair of syntactic translational equivalences and apply BTKs to sub-tree alignment along wi...
We examine four approaches for dealing with the logical omniscience problem and their potential applicability: the syntactic approach, awareness, algorithmic knowledge, and imposs...
