Computational humor is a challenge with implications for many classical fields in AI such as, for example, natural language processing, intelligent human-computer interaction, rea...
We present a new method for detecting and disambiguating named entities in open domain text. A disambiguation SVM kernel is trained to exploit the high coverage and rich structure...
Current Named Entity Recognition systems suffer from the lack of hand-tagged data as well as degradation when moving to other domain. This paper explores two aspects: the automati...
We present an implemented machine learning system for the automatic detection of nonreferential it in spoken dialog. The system builds on shallow features extracted from dialog tr...
We analyze estimation methods for DataOriented Parsing, as well as the theoretical criteria used to evaluate them. We show that all current estimation methods are inconsistent in ...
