We investigate methods of generating additional bilingual phrase pairs for a phrasebased decoder by translating short sequences of source text. Because our translation task is mor...
We propose the first unsupervised approach to the problem of modeling dialogue acts in an open domain. Trained on a corpus of noisy Twitter conversations, our method discovers dia...
This paper contributes a formalization of frame-semantic parsing as a structure prediction problem and describes an implemented parser that transforms an English sentence into a f...
We describe a cross-lingual method for the induction of selectional preferences for resourcepoor languages, where no accurate monolingual models are available. The method uses bil...
This paper describes an efficient sampler for synchronous grammar induction under a nonparametric Bayesian prior. Inspired by ideas from slice sampling, our sampler is able to dra...
