We describe a set of supervised machine learning experiments centering on the construction of statistical models of WH-questions. These models, which are built from shallow lingui...
We present a syntax-based statistical translation model. Our model transforms a source-language parse tree into a target-language string by applying stochastic operations at each ...
In this paper, we present a method for the semantic tagging of word chunks extracted from a written transcription of conversations. This work is part of an ongoing project for an ...
This paper describes a spoken dialog QA system as a substitution for call centers. The system is capable of making dialogs for both fixing speech recognition errors and for clari...
We have been investigating an interactive approach for Open-domain QA (ODQA) and have constructed a spoken interactive ODQA system, SPIQA. The system derives disambiguating querie...
