Inducing a grammar from text has proven to be a notoriously challenging learning task despite decades of research. The primary reason for its difficulty is that in order to induce...
Information extraction can be defined as the task of automatically extracting instances of specified classes or relations from text. We consider the case of using machine learni...
Dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs) offer an elegant way to integrate various aspects of language in one model. Many existing algorithms developed for learning and inference in DBNs ...
Search engines that support structured documents typically support structure created by the author (e.g., title, section), and may also support structure added by an annotation pr...
— Our long-term objective is to develop robots that engage in natural language-mediated cooperative tasks with humans. To support this goal, we are developing an amodal represent...
