Parsing plays an important role in semantic role labeling (SRL) because most SRL systems infer semantic relations from 1-best parses. Therefore, parsing errors inevitably lead to ...
We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...
In this paper, we present a general technique for taking forward-chaining planners for deterministic domains (e.g., HSP, TLPlan, TALplanner, and SHOP2) and adapting them to work i...
Synchronous Context-Free Grammars (SCFGs) have been successfully exploited as translation models in machine translation applications. When parsing with an SCFG, computational comp...
We describe a method to match 3D polygonal geometry models using their internal skeleton graphs. These graphs carry information about the overall shape of the model. In order to m...
