The AMI Meeting Corpus is now publicly available, including manual annotation files generated in the NXT XML format, but lacking explicit metadata for the 171 meetings of the cor...
We describe a novel neural network architecture for the problem of semantic role labeling. Many current solutions are complicated, consist of several stages and handbuilt features...
This paper introduces a Maximum Entropy dependency parser based on an efficient kbest Maximum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithm. Although recent work suggests that the edge-factored ...
Non-verbal modalities such as gesture can improve processing of spontaneous spoken language. For example, similar hand gestures tend to predict semantic similarity, so features th...
Previous studies in data-driven dependency parsing have shown that tree transformations can improve parsing accuracy for specific parsers and data sets. We investigate to what ex...
