Non-Linear Text Regression with a Deep Convolutional Neural Network
Text regression has traditionally been tackled using linear models. Here we present a non-linear method based on a deep convolutional neural network. We show that despite having m...

Parse Imputation for Dependency Annotations
Syntactic annotation is a hard task, but it can be made easier by allowing annotators flexibility to leave aspects of a sentence underspecified. Unfortunately, partial annotatio...

Dependency Recurrent Neural Language Models for Sentence Completion
Recent work on language modelling has shifted focus from count-based models to neural models. In these works, the words in each sentence are always considered in a left-to-right o...

Rhetoric Map of an Answer to Compound Queries
Given a discourse tree for a text as a candidate answer to a compound query, we propose a rule system for valid and invalid occurrence of the query keywords in this tree. To be a ...

Language to Code: Learning Semantic Parsers for If-This-Then-That Recipes
Using natural language to write programs is a touchstone problem for computational linguistics. We present an approach that learns to map natural-language descriptions of simple ...

Grounding Semantics in Olfactory Perception
Multi-modal semantics has relied on feature norms or raw image data for perceptual input. In this paper we examine grounding semantic representations in olfactory (smell) data, th...
