We have been developing a spoken language system to recognize and understand spontaneous speech. It is difficult for such systems to achieve good coverage of the lexicon and gramm...
This paper presents a simple and effective approach to improve dependency parsing by using subtrees from auto-parsed data. First, we use a baseline parser to parse large-scale una...
We present a new approach for mapping natural language sentences to their formal meaning representations using stringkernel-based classifiers. Our system learns these classifiers ...
Noun phrases of a document usually are the main information bearers. Thus, the detection of these units is crucial in many applications related to information retrieval, such as co...
After many successes, statistical approaches that have been popular in the parsing community are now making headway into Natural Language Generation (NLG). These systems are aimed...
