Robust Co-occurrence Quantification for Lexical Distributional Semantics

Acrostic poems are poems that contain a hidden message; typically, the first letter of each line spells out a word or short phrase.

Partial Training for a Lexicalized-Grammar Parser
We propose a solution to the annotation bottleneck for statistical parsing, by exploiting the lexicalized nature of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). The parsing model uses predicate-argument dependencies for training, which are derived from sequences of CCG lexical categories rather than full derivations. A simple...

With so many Arabic dialects being understudied due to the scarcity of the resources, the objective is to identify the Arabic dialect used in the tweet, at the country-level. We propose a machin...

Trainable Coarse Bilingual Grammars for Parallel Text Bracketing
We describe two new strategies to automatic bracketing of parallel corpora, with particular application to languages where prior grammar resources are scarce: (1) coarse bilingual grammars, and (2) unsupervised training of such grammars via EM (expectation-maximization). Both methods build upon a formalism we recently ...
