Most foreign names are transliterated into Chinese, Japanese or Korean with approximate phonetic equivalents. The transliteration is usually achieved through intermediate phonemic...
The scalability of graph-search algorithms can be greatly extended by using external memory, such as disk, to store generated nodes. We consider structured duplicate detection, an...
Pipeline computation, in which a task is decomposed into several stages that are solved sequentially, is a common computational strategy in natural language processing. The key pr...
Synchronous Context-Free Grammars (SCFGs) have been successfully exploited as translation models in machine translation applications. When parsing with an SCFG, computational comp...
In this paper, we exploit non-local features as an estimate of long-distance dependencies to improve performance on the statistical spoken language understanding (SLU) problem. Th...
