We consider the Independent Subspace Analysis problem from the point of view of contrast functions, showing that contrast functions are able to partially solve the ISA problem. Tha...
We present a simple and effective framework for exploiting multiple monolingual treebanks with different annotation guidelines for parsing. Several types of transformation pattern...
