In this paper, we present a sentence simplification method and demonstrate its use to improve intent determination and slot filling tasks in spoken language understanding (SLU) ...
We propose a language-independent method for the automatic extraction of transliteration pairs from parallel corpora. In contrast to previous work, our method uses no form of supe...
Determinantal point processes (DPPs), which arise in random matrix theory and quantum physics, are natural models for subset selection problems where diversity is preferred. Among...
