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...
Many machine learning methods have recently been applied to natural language processing tasks. Among them, the Winnow algorithm has been argued to be particularly suitable for NLP...
The goal of the visual correspondence problem is to establish a connectivity pattern (a mapping) between two images such that features projected from the same scene point are conn...
This paper describes a text normalization system for deletion-based abbreviations in informal text. We propose using statistical classifiers to learn the probability of deleting ...
