This paper reports on corpus-based research into the relationship between intonational variation and discourse structure. We examine the effects of speaking style (read versus spo...
We report on a method for compiling decision trees into weighted finite-state transducers. The key assumptions are that the tree predictions specify how to rewrite symbols from an...
This paper proposes the use of "patternbased" context-free grammars as a basis for building machine translation (MT) systems, which are now being adopted as personal too...
The development of natural language processing (NLP) systems that perform machine translation (MT) and information retrieval (IR) has highlighted the need for the automatic recogn...
We present a language model consisting of a collection of costed bidirectional finite state automata associated with the head words of phrases. The model is suitable for increment...
