Recently, a variety of representation learning approaches have been developed in the literature to induce latent generalizable features across two domains. In this paper, we exten...
Semantic annotated parallel corpora, though rare, play an increasingly important role in natural language processing. These corpora provide valuable data for computational tasks l...
Semantic role labeling (SRL) is one of the basic natural language processing (NLP) problems. To this date, most of the successful SRL systems were built on top of some form of par...
We propose an unsupervised probabilistic model for zero pronoun resolution. To our knowledge, this is the first such model that (1) is trained on zero pronouns in an unsupervised ...
Cross-lingual sentiment analysis is a task of identifying sentiment polarities of texts in a low-resource language by using sentiment knowledge in a resource-abundant language. Wh...
We propose that entity queries are generated via a two-step process: users first select entity facts that can distinguish target entities from the others; and then choose words t...
The quality of statistical machine translation performed with phrase based approaches can be increased by permuting the words in the source sentences in an order which resembles t...
We present KLcpos3 , a language similarity measure based on Kullback-Leibler divergence of coarse part-of-speech tag trigram distributions in tagged corpora. It has been designed ...
In this paper we present the UNRAVEL toolkit: It implements many of the recently published works on decipherment, including decipherment for deterministic ciphers like e.g. the ZO...
