Distributional measures of lexical similarity and kernel methods for classification are well-known tools in Natural Language Processing. We bring these two methods together by int...
Most work on unsupervised entailment rule acquisition focused on rules between templates with two variables, ignoring unary rules - entailment rules between templates with a singl...
A fuzzy tail pursuit guidance algorithm is proposed as an alternative to the conventional guidance methods. The purpose of this scheme is to obtain an control agains to the changin...
In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm for reducing a large mixture of Gaussians into a smaller mixture while still preserving the component structure of the original mod...
I present a method of identifying cognates in the vocabularies of related languages. I show that a measure of phonetic similarity based on multivalued features performs better tha...
