The Earley algorithm is a widely used parsing method in natural language processing applications. We introduce a variant of Earley parsing that is based on a “delayed” recognit...
Real-world natural language sentences are long and complex, and always contain unexpected grammatical constructions. It even includes noise and ungrammaticality. This paper descri...
In this paper, we propose a general way of constructing an NLG system that permits the systematic exploration of the effects of particular system choices on output quality. We cal...
Methods that learn from prior information about input features such as generalized expectation (GE) have been used to train accurate models with very little effort. In this paper,...
Current system combination methods usually use confusion networks to find consensus translations among different systems. Requiring one-to-one mappings between the words in candid...
