In this paper, we first explore the role of inter-annotator agreement statistics in grammatical error correction and conclude that they are less informative in fields where ther...
This paper addresses a novel task of semantically analyzing the comparative constructions inherent in attributive superlative expressions against structured knowledge bases (KBs)....

Expert finding on social media benefits both individuals and commercial services. In this paper, we exploit a 5-level tree representation to model the posts on social media and ...
Compared to the categorical approach that represents affective states as several discrete classes (e.g., positive and negative), the dimensional approach represents affective stat...

The performance of discriminative constituent parsing relies crucially on feature engineering, and effective features usually have to be carefully selected through a painful manua...
We present paired learning and inference algorithms for significantly reducing computation and increasing speed of the vector dot products in the classifiers that are at the hea...

How do we build a semantic parser in a new domain starting with zero training examples? We introduce a new methodology for this setting: First, we use a simple grammar to generate...
