The emergence of social media brings chances, but also challenges, to linguistic analysis. In this paper we investigate a novel problem of discovering patterns based on emotion an...
We investigate the use of Fisher's exact significance test for pruning the translation table of a hierarchical phrase-based statistical machine translation system. In additio...
We present a probabilistic generative model for learning semantic parsers from ambiguous supervision. Our approach learns from natural language sentences paired with world states ...
This paper proposes an approach to improve graph-based dependency parsing by using decision history. We introduce a mechanism that considers short dependencies computed in the ear...
When short queries and short image annotations are used in text-based cross-language image retrieval, small changes in word usage due to translation errors may decrease the retriev...
