We approach the zero-anaphora resolution problem by decomposing it into intra-sentential and inter-sentential zeroanaphora resolution. For the former problem, syntactic patterns o...
This paper presents techniques to apply semi-CRFs to Named Entity Recognition tasks with a tractable computational cost. Our framework can handle an NER task that has long named e...
In this paper we define a novel similarity measure between examples of textual entailments and we use it as a kernel function in Support Vector Machines (SVMs). This allows us to ...
We describe the new release of the RASP (robust accurate statistical parsing) system, designed for syntactic annotation of free text. The new version includes a revised and more s...
We present BAYESUM (for "Bayesian summarization"), a model for sentence extraction in query-focused summarization. BAYESUM leverages the common case in which multiple do...
