Two methods for stochastically modelling bidirectionality in chart parsing are presented. A probabilistic islanddriven parser which uses such models (either isolated or in combina...
Our aim in this paper is to identify genreindependent factors that influence the decision to pronominalize. Results based on the annotation of twelve texts from four genres show t...
Probabilistic Argumentation Systems (PAS) are a technique for representing uncertainty both symbolically and numerically. It is shown that this technique, which combines symbolic ...
Many probabilistic models for natural language are now written in terms of hierarchical tree structure. Tree-based modeling still lacks many of the standard tools taken for grante...
