We present an approach to pronoun resolution based on syntactic paths. Through a simple bootstrapping procedure, we learn the likelihood of coreference between a pronoun and a can...
Deterministic parsing guided by treebankinduced classifiers has emerged as a simple and efficient alternative to more complex models for data-driven parsing. We present a systemat...
We consider the model selection problem for support vector machines applied to binary classification. As the data generating process is unknown, we have to rely on heuristics as mo...
Usually time series prediction is done with regularly sampled data. In practice, however, the data available may be irregularly sampled. In this case the conventional prediction me...
Speech act classification remains one of the challenges in natural language processing. This paper evaluates a classification system that assigns one of twelve dialog acts to an u...
