We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...
Semantic databases are a stable starting point in developing knowledge based systems. Since creating language resources demands many temporal, financial and human resources, a pos...
Unknown lexical items present a major obstacle to the development of broadcoverage semantic role labeling systems. We address this problem with a semisupervised learning approach ...
Supervised semantic role labeling (SRL) systems trained on hand-crafted annotated corpora have recently achieved state-of-the-art performance. However, creating such corpora is te...
Abstract. In knowledge bases, the open world assumption and the ability to express variables may lead to an answer redundancy problem. This problem occurs when the returned answers...
