We treat the text summarization problem as maximizing a submodular function under a budget constraint. We show, both theoretically and empirically, a modified greedy algorithm can...
We present a novel approach to metaphor interpretation and a system that produces literal paraphrases for metaphorical expressions. Such a representation is directly transferable ...
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...
This paper presents METEOR-NEXT, an extended version of the METEOR metric designed to have high correlation with postediting measures of machine translation quality. We describe c...
Recent work has proposed the use of an extracted tree grammar as the basis for treebank analysis and search queries, in which queries are stated over the elementary trees, which a...
